Thanks @alanstewart50.bsky.social for his paper this evening on “The Maxims” of Francis Bacon. As Bacon’s editor, Alan’s survey of the manuscript and printed versions of this work, and the potential dedications to monarchs, made for a fascinating discussion.

OMG. Is that Francis Bacon, or just my wishful thinking that it is? @alanstewart50.bsky.social
