Abstract
Abstract: Bartholomaeus Anglicus' encyclopedia De proprietatibus rerum [On the properties of things] (ca. 1240) privileges Bartholomaeus' homeland, England, in its coverage of geography, citing as a source an unidentified ' Brut history' that is most likely not a Latin source. Bartholomaeus further claims 'Engela,' a Saxon queen, as the eponym of England, securing for her a place in Britain's legendary history that would have delighted Fiona Tolhurst, to whose memory this article is dedicated.
