Script Commentary

Script, manifestly by the hand that wrote Verona VII (7), CLA 4.482, is an uncalligraphic uncial with the letters hanging from the line instead of resting on it: the top of T forms a loop to the left, as in pre-Caroline minuscule; X swings down below the line; LL occasionally run together; descenders often extend into the line below.
