Roger Bacon
Roger Bacon (c. 1219–1292) was an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who is often credited as one of the earliest advocates for the scientific method. His work emphasized empirical observation and experimentation, distinguishing him from many of his contemporaries who relied on Aristotelian doctrines. Bacon's fascination with alchemy and cryptic texts has led some researchers to associate him with the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript, suggesting he may have authored this mysterious work that has stumped scholars for centuries.
