Comments:

Bishop and Chaplais 1957, the text is apparently free from any suspicious features ; Chaplais 1966a, p. 175 and n. 24, MS 1 probably written at Bury (= 1973, p. 60 n. 124) ; Gransden 1985, p. 12 ; Keynes 1988, p. 215 n. 181, queries Bury identity of scribe of MS 1 ; Dumville 1993, p. 37 n. 140, cited ; Sharpe 2003, pp. 265-6, part of sequence of writs ; Thompson 2006, p. 110, on script ; Harmer, Writs, pp. 147-8, 443-4, authentic, MS 1 contemporary ; Hart, ECNE, p. 385, original
