COLLECTIVE VOLUME AND JOURNAL
Miscellanea lombardiana (Novara: Istituto geografico de Agostini, 1957)- Pro ceedings of a colloquium organized by the Pontificio Ateneo Salesiano of Turin. The thirty-three contributions are of unequal value, but in clude several items that have become part of the canon of standard literature on Peter Lombard.
Pier Lombardo. Journal of Lombard studies, published in only four volumes between 1957 and i960. Very few libraries in the United States (and presumably elsewhere) own copies of Pier Lombardo, but it is possible to order individual articles through the interlibrary loan system.

Moreover, Rydstrpm-Poulsen offers a detailed discussion of the earliest reception of Peter's identification of charity with the Holy Spirit, by masters sympathetic to (pp. 392-434) and critical of it (pp. 435-66). This book appeared after I had completed my own chapter 4.
