| Script Commentary |
Script is a graceful, expert uncial recalling the distinct type found in some legal manuscripts like that of the Florentine Digests or the Verona Gaius and some legal fragments found in Egypt (CLA 3.295; 4.488; 3.292): the bow of uncial A is low; B is high, uncial E is open; N, O, and T follow the Greek rather than the Latin canon. |
