Fr. Rogeri Bacon Opera quaedam hactenus inedita, Vol. I (Opus Tertium, Opus Minus, Compendium Studii)
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 1859 volume 'Fr. Rogeri Bacon Opera quaedam hactenus inedita' is a Latin collection containing the 'Opus Tertium', 'Opus Minus', and 'Compendium Studii'. While individual sections or fragments of these works have been translated into English (such as A.G. Little's 1912 edition of part of the 'Opus Tertium' and Thomas S. Maloney's translation of the 'Compendium studii theologiae'), there is no evidence of a complete, single-volume English translation of the entire 1859 collection. Therefore, this is a first complete translation.
Part of the Opus tertium of Roger Bacon, including a fragment now printed for the first time, trans. A. G. Little (1912) [partial] source
