Volume / Number: 5 / 686

• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Nouv. Acq. Lat. 1596

Origin uncertain, probably Italy. A title in the well-known hand of a Fleury librarian of the twelfth century is seen on fol. 1, which served as fly-leaf in MS Orléans 87 from Fleury. The leaves were stolen by Libri and bore the number 16 in his collection.

Script is a rather ornate regular uncial of a late type: the tail of G is very fine; LL run together; the lower left branch of X has a serif to the right; the left branch of Y rises well above the line; several letters have forked finials.
