-Saint Germain was Roger Bacon (1220–1292), philosopher, Franciscan monk, educational reformer and experimental scientist. In an era in which either theology or logic or both dictated the parameters of science, he promoted the experimental method, declared his belief that the world was round, and castigated the scholars and scientists of his day for their narrow-mindedness. “True knowledge stems not from the authority of others, nor from a blind allegiance to antiquated dogmas,”<ref>Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas, ''Living Biographies of Great Scientists'' (Garden City, N.Y.: Nelson Doubleday, 1941), p. 15.</ref> he said. Bacon eventually left his position as a lecturer at the University of Paris and entered the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor.
+Roger Bacon est une autre incarnation de Saint-Germain (1220-1292), philosophe, moine franciscain, réformateur de l’enseignement, spécialiste de la science expérimentale. À une époque où soit la théologie ou la logique ou les deux dictaient les paramètres de la science, il a fait la promotion de la méthode expérimentale, il a affirmé qu'il croyait que la terre était ronde, et a fustigé les savants et les scientifiques de son époque pour leur étroitesse d’esprit. Il a affirmé que « la véritable connaissance ne découle pas de l'autorité des autres ni d'une allégeance aveugle à des dogmes désuets ». [7]  Plus tard, Bacon quitta son poste d’enseignant à l’Université de Paris et entra dans l’ordre franciscain des Frères Mineurs.
 In his day Bacon was renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics and languages. He is viewed as the forerunner of modern science and a prophet of modern technology. He predicted the hot-air balloon, a flying machine, spectacles, the telescope, the microscope, the elevator, and mechanically propelled ships and carriages, and wrote of them as if he had actually seen them.
