Bertholomevs De Proprietatibus Rerum Murray and Hong Special Collections xx AE 2 f .B3 1535
Primary source. De Proprietatibus Rerum, by the Franciscan Bartholomaeus Anglicus, composed about 1240, is an early encyclopedia in 19 books covering topics: God, angels, the human body and soul, the sky and astrological and meterological phenomena, the world and its parts, precious stones, and plants and animals, ending with an appendix on colors, flavors, and measurements of objects. It was one of the most important such works of the 13th through 15th centuries. We know this because of the 200 some manuscript copies of it that were made and the numbers of translations of it into these vernacular languages: Anglo-Norman, Italian, French, Provencal, English, Spanish, and Dutch. There were also about 50 printed editions between 1470 and 1609. MSU Libraries also has microform and online versions. Check our online catalog by author for Bartholomaeus Anglicus.
