Abstract
DAMASCENUS LATINUS ON ITEM 417 OF STEGMUELLER'S REPERTORIUM COMMENTARIORUM T\7Te do not have to introduce to our readers the Repertorium Commen- ?» tariorum in Sententiis Petri Lombardi by F. Stegmueller.1AmOHg the post-war publications on Mediaeval Scholasticism it certainly has to be counted among the more valuable works. A good tool for the student, the work is not perfect.

Without doubt, the work needs correcting and adding. Before doing so for Item 417, let us give a few examples to prove our point. To the list of manuscripts on Item 39, Adam Wodeham, O. F. M., add Pamplona, Spain, Cathedral ms. 1, an in-quarto codex of the 15th century. Grubbs II 63." ToItem, 45, onAUan of Lille,ought to be added Tortosa, Spain, Chapter ms. 97. Grubbs II 71.

The National Library of Madrid possesses two manuscripts to be added to Item 237, on Francis Rubio, O. F. M. : ms. 504 fol. 3—173 and ms. 517 fol. ?—35. After Guerricus de S. Quentino, O.

The subtitle runs: "Eximii Parrhisiensis achademie do/ctoris theologi Guidonis Briansonis / ordinis fratrum minorum provinciae / aquitaine conventus aurelhaci In / quartum magistri petri lombardi / Aureum opus.

"A qua nos deus sua pietate et misericordia preservet : nosque faciat gaudere sua feUci gloria. Amen." There foUows some kind of colophon, written by the author himself. Here it appears that the work has been finished on January 22 1488. It has been printed by a certain Stephen Baland in 1512 ; the name of the city is not mentioned, but from the Royal permit, printed right after the title-page, we know that Baland worked for a publisher of Lyons, caUed Simon Vincent. The book contains, first an alphabetical index without pagination; then the Commentary proper, covering 274 foUos.
