Interesting idea. However, given that Roger Bacon's diary is of interest as a scientific rather than wizardly historical artefact, and wizards wouldn't know an item of scientific value if it electrocuted them...
Er, I think he means that it looks like Bacon's Diary but is actually something more precious.
Palm, meet face. This is what happens when you get too little sleep as a result of staying up waiting for the next chapter.
Thanks for the clarification.
Of course, the probability is somewhat lowered, because Quirrell would want to disguise it, and I think that the diary of Roger Bacon would stand out... A little.
There's also his mothers Potions text. ETA: Which contains a secret that really is pretty terrible.
