Notes
*Napier and Stevenson, p. 90 and n. 1, early 11th-century hand, reads like a genuine charter, wrongly dated 951, probably 971; Robinson 1909, p. 12, apparently genuine, original or very early copy, should be dated 959; Robinson 1911, p. 170; Stevenson 1912, p. 8, MS 1 not in contemporary hand; PN Middx, pp. 6-7, 113, 168, 173, and p. 222, on bounds; Gelling 1954, on bounds, with map; Chaplais 1968, p. 332 n. 169, step from wrapping-tie, but not original (= 1973, p. 83 n. 169); Brooke and Keir 1975, p. 369, probably authentic; Whitelock 1975, p. 22 n., no basis for dating 971; Harvey 1977, p. 355; Gelling, ECTV, no. 225, authentic, note on bounds; Keynes 1980, p. 48 nn. 89, 90, 'Dunstan B' type, unlikely to be authentic in present form; BA Facs., p. 10, written in second half of 10th century, conceivably 'original', cf. S 1351; Brooks 1992, p. 22 n. 72, contemporary single sheet, tampered with to make it appear that the charter had once been sealed; Dumville 1994, p. 146 n. 71, non-contemporary Square Minuscule, not s. x med.; Keynes 1994, p. 177, spurious in received form, but perhaps based in part on a 'Dunstan B' charter; cf. S 951
