Comments:

Bridgeman 1916, p. 97; Hart 1970a, p. 24, on endorsement; Hart, ECNE, no. 86 and pp. 174-9, authentic, MS 1 contemporary copy, discusses bounds; Sawyer, Burton, pp. xiii, 28-9, suspicious because MS 1 is a later imitative copy; Keynes 1980, pp. 59-60, 68-9 n. 133, Group Four'; unlikely to be original, cf. S 646; Keynes 1980a, p. 216, on formulation; Brooks 1982, p. 464, more likely to be an original than a later forgery; Hooke 1983, pp. 85, 87-9, on bounds; PN Staffs., i. 16; BA Facs., p. 4, not clear if MS 1 contemporary or later copy; Hart 1992, pp. 445-7, on Eadwig's charters; Dumville 1994, p. 146 n. 71, MS 1 written in imitative script; Thompson 2006, pp. 21 et passim, on script
