Comments:

HS, p. 166 n., spurious; Craster 1954, p. 181, obvious forgery; Chaplais 1969, pp. 537-8, evidently spurious, but includes one formula with contemporary continental parallels (= 1973 pp. 101-2); Wormald 1985, pp. 17, 26, unreliable later copy, possibly genuine elements; Cubitt 1995, pp. 258-9.
