Harry got the diary of Roger Bacon, not Francis. Roger was born ~1214.

Oops! This is not the first time I've gotten the two confused... In any event, c. 1200 is prior to either Bacon.

I am mildly disappointed that you just specified "Bacon," and so the prediction is not trivially wrong.

I'm not disappointed... and if I had, I'd just edit the prediction. No point in leaving it trivially wrong.
