     This list is only provisional, but it may be of some use to students of Rolle. Since it was made a note has appeared in the Athenaum of August 23, 1913, by Miss. H. E. Allen, in which she draws attention to another MS. of the Incendium in the Durham Cathedral library (MS. B. iv. 35). Miss Allen's forthcoming book will contain complete lists of all the known authentic writings of Richard Rolle.
