Science and religion Philosophy Bible Optics Physics Perspective Medieval Grosseteste, Robert Bacon, Roger

It is well known that Roger Bacon was convinced that perspectiva was necessary in order to attain with certitude the literal as well as the spiritual meaning of the Holy Scripture. Despite this claim, the examples of this use he gives in his Perspectiva are disappointing, because of their vagueness or their elementary level of optical knowledge. After having recalled Roger Bacon’s claim, this article analyses Bonaventure’s Collationes in Hexaemeron, Peter John of Olivi’s biblical exegesis and Nicolas of Lyra’s Postillae, in search of an eventual resort to perspectiva. In conclusion, it is argued that the example shown in Robert Grosseteste’s Hexaemeron, in which optics plays a fundamental role, seems to remain exceptional. One of the reasons was perhaps the link between perspectiva and the philosophy of cognition, which could lead to problematical discussions from a theological point of view.
