Leeds, Kent, Augustinian abbey of St Mary the Virgin and St Nicholas: "Liber monasterii de Ledes per fratrem Thomam de Meydistane ipsius loci canonicum" (c. 1300), on endleaf at beginning, formerly pasted down. (MLGB3: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution).

'Liber sermonum T. de M. de Temporali' (c. 1300)

This is the only volume which seems to correspond with an entry of 'Sermones anonymi, lib. 2 [i.e. pars altera?]' among the S. Theology 4° books in the Catalogue of 1602.
