Neuf livres de la dignité et de laccroissement des sciences
First from French
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'Neuf livres de la dignité et de l'accroissement des sciences' is a 1632 French translation of Francis Bacon's 'De dignitate et augmentis scientiarum' (1623), which itself is an expanded Latin version of his earlier English work, 'The Advancement of Learning' (1605). While Bacon's original English text and various Latin editions have been translated and published in English many times, there is no evidence of an English translation of the specific French version by Sieur de Golefer. Therefore, this is a first translation from this specific source language (French).
