Script Commentary

Script is Caroline minuscule by several hands, some showing Insular influence (e.g. fol. 82), others recalling the Maurdramnus type: a has the uncial form, the half-uncial, and the form like two c’s; y is dotted; the ligature oꝛ occurs even at the beginning of words; ri in ligature resembles n with prolonged second stroke. Fol. 70v as only probationes pennae; added glosses, saec. X, on fol. 82v.
