 === Roger Bacon ===
-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.
+Saint Germain fue Roger Bacon (1220-1292), filósofo, monje franciscano, reformador de la enseñanza y científico experimental. En una época en la que o bien la teología, o bien la lógica, o ambas dictaban los parámetros de la ciencia, él promovió el método experimental, declaró su creencia en que el mundo era redondo y censuró a los eruditos y científicos de sus tiempos por su estrechez de miras. «El verdadero conocimiento no surge de la autoridad de otros, ni de una ciega alianza con dogmas anticuados»<ref>Henry Thomas y Dana Lee Thomas, ''Living Biographies of Great Scientists (Biografías vivas de grandes científicos)'' (Garden City, N.Y.: Nelson Doubleday, 1941), pág. 15.</ref>, dijo. Bacon acabó abandonando su puesto como conferencista de la Universidad de París y entró en la Orden Franciscana de Frailes Menores.
 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.
