What is perception? 👀 🧠 🫀
The English word ‘Perception’—as the ‘process of becoming aware or conscious of a thing’ (OED) —is first recorded in John Trevisa’s (1342–1402) translation of Bartholomaeus Anglicus’s (b. 1272) influential 13th-century encyclopaedia.
Explore this definition, and others, in the Library's new online exhibition and related blogpost: ow.ly/PfZt50UGc51, curated as part of the College's academic theme for 2024-25.

Dr Borowski said, "Gottfried Leibniz was a polymath whose inventions and insights still resonate with modern-day discoveries. I am so pleased to have completed this and hope I have done justice to him!"
