Later Life, Condemnation, and Death (c. 1268-1294)

This timeline chronicles the latter years of Roger Bacon's life, marked by controversy, condemnation, and ultimately, his death. It highlights the challenges he faced due to his unconventional views and the suspicion surrounding his scientific pursuits.
Continued Scholarship and Writings
Post-1268
Even after completing the 'Opus Majus' and its supplements, Bacon continues his scholarly work, writing on various scientific and philosophical topics.
Condemnation and Imprisonment
c. 1277
Bacon's writings and teachings, particularly his interest in astrology and alchemy, lead to suspicion and condemnation by some within the Franciscan Order. He is likely imprisoned, although the precise circumstances and duration remain uncertain.
Release from Imprisonment
c. 1292
Bacon is likely released from imprisonment, although the details of his release are not well documented.
Last Known Work: 'Compendium Studii Theologiae'
1292
Bacon completes his last known work, the 'Compendium Studii Theologiae' (A Compendium of the Study of Theology), a shorter work that focuses on theological matters. This may reflect a shift in focus after his imprisonment.
Death
c. 1294
Roger Bacon dies around 1294, likely in Oxford, England. He is remembered as a pioneering figure in the history of science and philosophy, despite the challenges he faced during his lifetime.
