Who are Cyminisectores?
It is a Latin term meaning experts in hair splitting. This term has been used by Bacon to denote those persons who have the capacity of differentiating and distinguishing things, similar to philosophers of middle ages. In 'Of Studies', Bacon suggests that if a man is unable to easily differentiate between things, he should study the works of the philosophers of the middle ages. It is worth noting that in almost all his essays Bacon has used similar Latin uses which are pointer to his hold over Latin.
