Widmore 1743, Appendix, 1, ex MS 1

Comments:

Bishop and Chaplais 1957, no decisive argument against textual authenticity, handwriting of MS 1 later than apparent date of issue ; Brooke and Keir 1975, p. 369, probably authentic ; Thompson 2006, p. 71, on script ; Harmer, Writs, pp. 318, 505, script seems to belong to later 11th century, probably a slightly later copy of an original writ ; Gelling, ECTV, no. 248, slightly later copy of original writ.
