Comments:

Chaplais 1966a, forgery, MS 1 written at Winchester, perhaps s. xi1, in hand similar to that of the annals 973-1001 in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, 173 (the Parker Chronicle) (= 1973, p. 55) ; Keynes 1994b, p. 1145, suspicious ; Stevenson 1904, p. 322 n. 6, very suspicious ; Robinson 1918, p. 17, spurious ; John 1965, pp. 410 n. 3, 414-16 ; Biddle et al. 1976, pp. 256-7, on Chilcomb ; Parkes 1976, p. 171 n. 1, on script ; Dumville 1992, p. 60, forgery, script not especially close to that of the annals, suggests Chaplais's date for MS 1 may be too late ; Faith 1997, p. 34, cited ; BM Facs., iv, p. 7, MS 1 rather later ; Grundy, Hants., I, pp. 164-73, bounds cover the hundred of Chilcomb ; Grundy, Hants., IV, p. 340 ; Harmer, Writs, p. 373, authenticity not certain ; Finberg, ECW, no. 40 and chapter vii, esp. pp. 230-3, authentic basis, passage relating to later hundred of Chilcomb is an interpolation ; Hart 1970a, p. 35 (no. 171), authentic basis ; Wormald 1988a, p. 39, fabricated by the same hand as S 443 and 540
