Opus Majus (1267) of English friar and philosopher Roger Bacon, known as "Doctor Mirabilis," argued that Christian studies encompass the sciences.

This Franciscan, a member of Order of Friars Minor, whose scholastic accolade means "wonderful teacher," placed considerable emphasis on nature through empirical methods. The works of Aristotle and later pseudo-works like those of Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham of Egypt inspire the modern method, which he in Europe earliest advocated, as people, mainly starting in the 19th century, sometimes credit him. From books, he, essentially a medieval thinker, obtained much of his "experiment" in the scholastic tradition, as more recent reevaluations emphasize. Reception of work of Bacon often reflects the central concerns and controversies over centuries, according to as a survey.
