Script Commentary |
Script very expert, recalling the Vergilius Romanus (CLA 1.19): uncial G occurs, and twice a kind of uncial E; B and F rise above other letters. Some pages begin with a large letter. Later marginalia and insertions in minuscule saec. IX, some (e.g. ‘ignes’ on fol. 194) suggesting a centre under Insular influence, no doubt Lorsch. |
