Script Commentary	Script is partly Irish minuscule (foll. 1–11v), partly Italian cursive minuscule (foll. 13v–15); the Irish hand seems identical with one of the scribes of Naples MS Lat. 2 (foll. 42*–75) (CLA 3.394): u is often suprascript and cup-shaped; ligatures include bi, bꞅ, li, ꞇi, and, especially noteworthy in both manuscripts, ti ligature (for hard and soft ti); the Italian script resembles certain hands found in Milan, Ambros. L. 99 sup. (CLA 3.353): i-longa occasionally in mid-word; the st ligature has the typical North Italian form with the ꞇ leaning backwards; ti ligature is used for hard and soft ti.
