Edmund of Hampton witnessed another charter inspected by Langton: Acta Stephani Langton 47 (from Monasticon Anglicanum 6. 565).

¹³ Simon was still a canon of Lincoln in 1202: The Earliest Lincolnshire Assize Rolls (ed. Stenton, D. M. Lincoln Record Society; 1926) VIII no. 51, cited in ‘Anglo-Norman Canonists’ 326. The evidence of the witness list quoted above indicates that he became treasurer in 1202 some time before Richard de Mores was installed as prior of Dunstable. This conclusion does not conflict with the references cited by Kuttner and Rathbone, ibid. 326 n. 47, who stated that Simon probably gained his treasurership in 1203.Google Scholar

¹⁵ Dr. Kuttner, in a letter, informs me that in the Quaestiones Londinenses (post 1196) Master Nicholas de Aquila (de l'Aigle) quoted an opinion ‘secundum magistr. ricc.’ (This passage was not given in the articles of Kuttner and Rathbone or Brundage, supra n. 2). Dr. Kuttner's discovery opens the possibility that Ricardus Anglicus left Bologna for Oxford, where he was a member of the circle of John of Tynemouth c. 1196–98. Google Scholar
