Bartholomeus Anglicus (English: Bartholomew the Englishman) (before 1203 - 1272) was an early 13th-century scholastic scholar of Paris, a member of the Franciscan order. He was the author of the compendium De proprietatibus rerum ("On the Properties of Things"), dated at 1240, an early forerunner of the encyclopedia and one of the most popular books in medieval times. Bartholomew also held senior positions within the church and was appointed Bishop of ukow although he was not consecrated to that position."
