Comments:

Bishop 1955, pp. 194-5, on script; Chaplais 1966, pp. 22-3 (no. 22), probably forged soon after the Norman Conquest, scribe also appears in manuscripts from Exeter (= 1981, XV pp. 22-3); HRH, p. 237, subscriptions are consistent, but 'original' a forgery; Keynes 1980, pp. 27 n. 41, 100 n. 51, 126 n. 136, Exeter forgery modelled on S 880; Olson 1989, p. 77 n. 115; Dumville 1993, pp. 132-4, on script; Lawson 1993, pp. 66 n. 29, 173, 238, suspicious, local production; Keynes 1994a, pp. 52 n. 51, 68 n. 143, probably spurious but witness-list from a genuine text
