The present complete edition of this dictionary was prepared after the author's death by Sir W. Dugdale. In his foreword to Über die Leges Anglorum saeculo XIII, ineunte Londoniis collectae Von F. Liebermann (Halle, 1894), Felix Liebermann states that the 1626 edition of this Glossarium expresses (the first?) doubts about the integrity of the Leges. See D. Wing (ed.), Short-title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America, and of English Books Printed in Other Countries, 1641–1700. 4 vols. New York, 1982-98 (2nd ed.), S4925.
