In the foreign literary world and foreign philosophical circles, the commonly recognized source is Bacon’s Religious Meditation Record written in Latin, which is also translated as Contemplative Record. In that book, Bacon's Latin original text is “nam et ipsa scientia potestases” and the English translation is “Knowledge itself is power”. See Zhou Donglin's Bacon’s Famous Saying “Knowledge is power” Three Solutions, Journal of Fudan University, No. 5, 2007.
