De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum [On the Dignity and Advancement of Learning] (Latin expanded version, 1623; original English: Advancement of Learning, 1605) Inferred

Francis Bacon (1561–1626) · Latin expanded version, 1623; original English: Advancement of Learning, 1605

InferredFuller quotes Jeremy Taylor's motto, "Dramatica Poesis est veluti Historia spectabilis," and attributes it to Francis Bacon. The Latin phrase ("Dramatic poetry is, as it were, history made visible") originates in Bacon's De Augmentis Scientiarum (1623), the expanded Latin version of The Advancement of Learning. Fuller likely encountered the phrase in Taylor's preface but explicitly names Bacon as the source.

“Dramatica Poesis est veluti Historia spectabilis,' is his motto, taken from Bacon, who formed his taste on Shakspeare.”
