 * ✅Saint Anselm Saint Anselm (1033–1109), archbishop of Canterbury; born at Aosta; educated in Abbey of St. Leger, near Aosta; travelled in Burgundy, France, and Normandy, and resided at Avranches, c. 1059; entered monastic order at Bee, 1060; prior, successor to Lanfranc, 1063-78; abbot, 1078-93; visited England soon after 1063, and was admitted by monks of Christ Church a member of their house, where he became acquainted with Eadmer, his biographer; called to deathbed of William the Conqueror at Rouen, but fell ill and did not recover before the king's death; reluctantly accepted the archbishopric of Canterbury from William II, who was lying ill at Gloucester; enthroned at Canterbury, 1093; consecrated, assisted by seven bishops, the church of the abbey erected by William I on field on which he had defeated Harold, 1094; applied for permission to go to Rome and receive his pallium from the pope, 1095; there being two rivals for the papacy, Urban and Clement, neither of whom William II had recognised, had, as abbot of Bee, recognised Urban and refused to withdraw his allegiance; a council, at which no definite decision was reached, held at Rockingham to decide between the claims of the king and the pope on his obedience; his deposition aimed at in the king's subsequent (unsuccessful) acknowledgment of Urban as pope: a form of reconciliation made by William with him, on which he received the pallium from the papal legate; obtained leave, with difficulty, to go to Rome in order to interest the pope in the condition of England,. 1097; his estates seized by the king; received by the pope with honour, and promised assistance in his episcopal work, but not materially assisted, since delegates from William succeeded in influencing Urban; returned to England on death of William, 1100; obeying a papal decree, refused to consecrate prelates invested by Henry I; revisited Rome; thence went to Lyons, and remained there till the point in dispute with the king should be decided. The matter was finally settled, 1107, when the king ceded the right of investiture and Anselm promised that elected prelates should not be debarred from consecration on account of having done homage to the king. Anselm wrote many theological and philosophical works, including the famous Monologion Proslogion and Cur Dens Homo

 * ✅ ✅Francis Bacon Francis Bacon, first Baron Verulam and Viscount St Albans (1661–1626), lord chancellor; younger son of Sir Nicholas Bacon (1509-1579): educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, 1673-5; admitted to Gray's Inn, 1576; attached to embassy of Sir Amias Paulet to France, 1576-9; utter barrister, 1582; M.P., Melcombe Regis, 1584; wrote Letter of Advice to Queen Elizabeth urging strong measures against catholics, c. 1684; M.P., Taunton, and bencher of Gray's Inn, 1686; M.P., Liverpool, 1589; made acquaintance of Earl of Essex, who subsequently treated him with great generosity, c. 1591; M.P., Middlesex, 1693; queen's counsel, 1696: published Essays 1597; M.P., Southampton, 1697; appointed, among others, to investigate causes of Essex's revolt, and was largely responsible for the earl's conviction, 1601; nominated king's counsel and knighted by James I, 1603; one of the commissioners for arrangement of union with Scotland, and confirmed as king's counsel, 1604; published Advancement of Learning 1605; married Alice Barnham, 1606; solicitor-general, 1607; published De Sapientia Veterum 1609; supported James's claims in connection with the great contract by which the king was to receive a fixed income in exchange for that derived from feudal tenures and other sources, 1610; attorney-general, 1613; chief prosecutor at trial of Somerset, 1616: privy councillor, 1616; lord-keeper, 1617: wrote New Atlantis between 1614 and 1618; lord-chancellor and raided to peerage as Baron Verulam, 1618; took court side in prosecution of Raleigh (1618), of Suffolk (1610), and of Yelverton (1620); published Novum Organum 1620; made Viscount St. Albans, 1621; charged before House of Lords with bribery; confessed that he was guilty of 'corruption and neglect', deprived of great seal, fined, condemned to confinement during the king's pleasure, and disabled from sitting in parliament; remained in Tower only a few days, the fine being dbeeqaeatty Mdgned by the king to trustees for Bacon's own use; published Life of Henry VII 1622, De Augmentis Scientiarum (the Advancement of Learning completed and translated into Latin), 1623, and an enlarged edition of the Essays  _._ of his  death.    1625; engaged on Sylva Sylvarum at the time ith.  Bacon's works may be divided into three classes, the philosophical (which form by far the greatest portion), the literary, and the professional works. The principal and best known of the philosophical works are: (1) the Advancement of Learning published in English in 1605; (2) the Novum Organum published in Latin in 1620, under the general title Francisci de Verulamio... Instauratio Magna with a second title (after the preface) 'Pars secunda operis, quae dicitur Novum Organum sive indicia vera de interpretatione natune; and (3) the De Angmentis published in Latin in 1623 with the title Opera F. Baconis de Verulamio... Tomus primus, qui  i continet de Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiaruin libros ix It was Bacon's ambition to create a new system of philosophy, based on a right interpretation of nature, to replace that of Aristotle; the Novum Organum describes the method by which the renovation of knowledge  was to be achieved, and is thus the keystone to the whole system. The Advancement of Learning of which the 'De Augmentis' may be regarded as an enlarged edition, was included in the Great Instauration as a preliminary review of the present state of knowledge. Of Bacon's literary works, the most important are the Essays first published in 1597, and issued in final form, 1625; De Sapientia Veterum published in 1609; Apophthegms New and Old published in 1624; and the History of Henry the Seventh 1622. The largest and most important of his professional works are the treatises entitled Maxims of the Law and Reading on the Statute of Uses
