Script Commentary |
Script is a well-formed Visigothic minuscule with the characteristic open a, ꞇ and G; suprascript v-shaped u is frequent; x is noteworthy—the oblique shaft leaning to the left has a sort of inverted comma at the top right end and another placed low at left end; Y rises above other letters; z has a superior dot. |
