Script Commentary

Script is an early, careful minuscule of Burgundian type, by several hands: open a is the rule, a is confined to line-ends; d has two forms; e has a knob-like forestroke; i-longa, used initially and in ti ligature, goes below the line; has the form seen in early Beneventan and Visigothic; the top stroke of z is c-shaped, the other two strokes sweep below the line; ascenders are unusually long; ligatures of ri and ti passim; a triangular capital A with the base resting on the line occurs here and there, a Burgundian feature. The Nota Tironiana for 'hic' occurs. The name 'MAIMBERTUS' is entered by a ninth-century hand in the margin of fol. 127v.
