THE FAMOUS HISTORIE OF FRYER BACON. 16th Century.
'Containing the Wonderful Things that he did in his life: also the manner of his death; with the lives and deaths of the two Coniurers, Bungye and Vandermast. An Elizabethan version of an earlier story of the great Franciscan (1214-92) and his achievements, which are after the manner of the time ascribed to necromantic powers. Notable as the story on which Greene based his finest play'.
