: I would find it next to impossible to prove to you the existence of this document since it is very very hard to come by a copy that you can borrow. A friend of mine had loaned it from Harvard Library but not in its original context rather as the PHD paper of a Theologian from Harvard, who translated the text and inserted his analysis. We could only read part of this paper and it was a photocopy ...so, I have no idea how to track this document down and cite it! - BUT I know it exists!

:: Whether the document exists is one question and something that needs to be cited ('''academic verifiability'''). Since this is a controversial subject(because it naturally leads to the impugning of the testimony of a saint), there needs to be some sort of citation from a reliable third-party source. That shouldn't be too hard to come by for a document of this age. Surely, there is some academic somewhere who mentions it.
:: Whether what the document contains came from the source it claims is another question ('''authorship'''). This also could use some citing, since if it really did come from St. Andrew, it calls into question his accuracy (since the world didn't end).
