Script Commentary

Script is a rapid Anglo-Saxon minuscule: d is more frequent than , the latter with an upturned serif; is flat-topped; r resembles n; the oblique of z plunges below the line; final m often lies on its side; in final e the tongue is often 7-shaped; e in ligature is apt to be tall. Marginalia in small Insular minuscule passim. The MS seems copied column by column, as suggested by spreading or crowding at end of columns.
