    • Yes, some scholars do regard it as inauthentic. For example it’s not included in the NFPF collection. I think that was a presumptuous judgment, “indubitably spurious”. You can read a translation of it in Deferrari from 1926, available on the Internet Archive here.

      Best wishes, Seumas

  1. Found it, thank you so much! I had searched online without success to find this translation and noted that it had been omitted from some collections on grounds of its alleged spuriousness, so I am most grateful to you for guiding me to the right place. By the way, we may be on the same time zone (I am in Hong Kong). I hope you have made the most of the summer months in Ulaanbaatar, with its breathtakingly beautiful scenery: once winter sets in you will have plenty of time in the long evenings to work on your project! Best Wishes Alan
