Pope Clement IV (c. 1190 – 1268), born Gui Foucois, was Pope from 1265 until his death.
Biography
During his papacy, Clement requested English philosopher Roger Bacon to write a summary of his achievements, which in 1267 became known as the Opus Majus. However, the book was evidently not brief enough for Clement, which resulted in Bacon writing the Opus Minus just a year later.[1]
Around the same time, through the explorers Niccolò and Maffeo Polo, Pope Clement IV began a correspondence with the Mongol Khagan Kublai Khan; Niccolò's son Marco claimed in his travelogue The Travels of Marco Polo that the Mongolian ruler wished to convert to Christianity and had sent for 100 educated men to teach him about western science, culture, and religion.[2]
