 Direct evidence of Bacon’s influence here in making science available for an educated public is seen in the use of his work by Pierre de Limoges in his influential text, De oculo morali (On the Moral Eye), written at Paris between 1275 and 1289. MS Paris, BN Lat. 7434, owned by Pierre de Limoges, contains an early copy of Bacon’s Perspectiva. All of this suggests Pierre de Limoges,(magnus theologus et astronomus) as a very early reader of Bacon’s works (Newhauser 2001). Both are genuinely committed to theimprovement of the task of the preacher. Here, we see the priority for Bacon of preaching over theology, or rather, the latter is in service to the former (Johnson 2009).
