Several studies have approached sense perception in the encyclopaedias of Thomas of Cantimpré,
Bartholomew the Englishman and Vincent of Beauvais. Yet a systematic overview and comparison of
the arrangement of sense perception in these encyclopaedias is still lacking. The overview offered here
shows that all encyclopaedias place sense perception beside expositions on psychology and anatomy.
There are, however, significant differences in how they treat the objects of sensation. In the case of
Bartholomew and Vincent, I argue, these differences reflect two different readings of Aristotle.
