Downloaded beautifully in a mere three minutes.

I can't see that it was published anywhere, let alone in 1929 by any
publishing house in Oxford; it is a typescript.

In the first few pages, it referred to an armorial given to a monastery
by Wm the Conqueror. He died in 1087 and heraldry was not invented
until the mid 1100s. Then it speaks of the Battle Abbey Roll as if it
was a genuine document drawn up at the time of the Conquest. So I
stopped - and the file may eventually get deleted.
