Most 19th century sources all refer back to Roger Bacon, Monk, Ilchester, in Somersetshire in the 13th century as having knowledge or being an "Arabic scholar." I was curious if anyone had any knowledge of Bacon's "6th Chapter Epistles of the Secrets of Arts" which definitely included info on gun powder, buth what about Damascus?

Kind Regards
