| Script Commentary |
Script is a well-formed early Caroline minuscule of a distinct type: open a and a are used; c is often high-backed; the first stroke of N leans to the right and descends below the line; the bow of p is often pointed at the top; r is short except in ri, ro ligatures; the st ligature is somewhat angular at the top, with the cross-bar of t prolonged to right and left. The uncial of the lemmata is of the unmistakable type seen in Vatic. Regin. 316 + Paris Lat. 7193 (q.v.)(CLA 1.105) : the top of ꝺ is often stem-like; the bows of uncial M rise branch-like; the two uprights of N lean towards each other. Notae Tironianae in the margin of fol. 124v of Lat. 12240. |
