In quatuor Libros Sententiarum Petri Lombardi

David Burr[1]:

Hocedez argues persuasively[2] that Richard was a sententiarus at Paris in 1278 and 1279-80 but revised his commentary at a later date. The fourth book cannot have been finished before the end of 1294, although it is earlier than 1298.

From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

"Super sententias Petri Lombardi", written between 1281 and 1285, and first printed at Venice, 1489; "Quaestiones Quodlibetales" in manuscript at Oxford and elsewhere; "Quodlibeta tria" printed with the Sentences at Venice, 1509; "De gradibus formarum" in manuscript at Munich; and "Quaestiones disputatae" in manuscript at Assisi. Other works which have been attributed to him are: "Super epistolas Pauli"; "Super evangelia"; "Super distinctiones decreti"; "De ordine judiciorum"; "De clavium sacerdotalium potestate"; "Contra Patrem Joannem Olivum"; a poem, "De conceptione immaculata Virginis Mariae"; three manuscript sermons now in the Bibliotheque Nationale (manuscript 14947, nos. 47, 69, 98), and a sermon on the Ascension, the manuscript of which is at Erlangen.

Charles Kingsford[3]:

Middleton wrote: 1. ‘Super Sententias Petri Lombardi.’ The commentary of Middleton, of which there are numerous manuscripts at Oxford and elsewhere, was written between 1281 and 1285; it was printed complete at Venice, 1489 and 1509, Brescia, 1591; the first book, Venice, 1507, the second and third books, Venice, 1509, and the fourth book only, Venice, 1489, without date, and 1499, and Paris, 1504 and 1512. The statement made by Wadding, that the fourth book was not by Middleton, is an error. 2. ‘Quæstiones Quodlibetales,’ incipit ‘Quæritur utrum Deus sit summe simplex,’ MS. Merton College 139, f. 2, Troyes 142, Florence Laurentiana ex Bibl. S. Crucis Plut. xvii. Sin. Cod. vii. 3. ‘Quodlibeta tria,’ printed in the 1509 ed- ition of the ‘Sentences.’ 4. ‘De gradibus formarum,’ MS. Munich 8723. 5. ‘Quæstiones disputatæ,’ manuscript at Assisi. Middleton is also credited with 6. ‘Super epistolas Pauli.’ 7. ‘Super evangelia.’ 8. ‘Super distinctiones decreti.’ 9. ‘De ordine judiciorum.’ 10. ‘De clavium sacerdotalium potestate.’ 11. ‘Contra Petrum Joannem Olivum.’ 12. ‘De Conceptione immaculata Virginis Mariæ,’ in verse. 13. ‘Expositio super Ave Maria,’ which is more probably by Richard or Conrad de Saxonia. To Middleton has incorrectly been assigned the authorship of a treatise, ‘In regulam S. Francisci,’ and of the ‘Quadragesimale’ of Francis of Asti. It is also stated in error that he completed the ‘Summa’ of Alexander of Hales by order of Alexander IV; this was the work of William of Meliton [q. v.], who died in 1261. Three sermons, preached by a Friar Richard at Paris in 1281 and 1283, and now preserved in MS. Bibliothèque Nationale 14947; Nos. 47, 69, and 98, may be by Middleton.
