## Life

He graduated M.A. at the University of Paris in 1307, and became a master of medicine. He came under the influence of Radulphus Brito.[1]

Bartholomaeus served as physician to Guy I, Count of Blois until the count died.[2] He was a reforming medical teacher, replacing the older curriculum based on the Articella by a new Galenism.[3]

## Works

Bartholomaeus wrote commentaries on Aristotle.[4][5] His work on the Poetics is noted for its sympathy with mimesis as a poetical function, and so an opening towards classical drama[6] (the original work of Aristotle not being available at the time in Western Europe, the basis was a Latin translation by Hermannus Alemannus from Averroes, the Commentaria Media).[7] He engaged in controversy with John of Jandun on the sensus agens, an active perceptive faculty of the soul.[8] The reply of John of Jandun has been dated to 1310.[9]

At the University of Montpellier he wrote also on the Ars Medicine.[10] Some of the medical works that were attributed to him are considered to be by Bartholomew of Salerno instead.[11] In 1348, at the time of the Black Death, he wrote on the plague.[4]
