520 _a"Mediaeval Lore from Bartholomew Anglicus" by Robert Steele is a collection of writings that dives into the scientific, medicinal, and societal understandings of the Middle Ages, drawn from the works of the English Franciscan Bartholomew, likely written in the mid-13th century. The text serves as an encyclopedic resource, elucidating the properties of various elements and facets of life during this era, while also shedding light on the aspirations and intellectual pursuits of its contemporaries. At the start of this work, a preface by William Morris provides context for the medieval perspective on knowledge and learning, correcting misconceptions about this time as chaotic and ignorant. Following the preface, the translator's prologue sets the tone by explaining the purpose behind Bartholomew’s work, which is to clarify allusions found in religious texts through the exploration of natural objects. The introduction outlines the scope of the original text, hinting at its broad appeal across different classes of society in medieval Europe. This opening portion is rich with reflections on how medieval life intertwined with topics of science, medicine, and social norms, setting the stage for readers to engage with a world that perceived nature through a symbolic lens.
