| Script Commentary |
Script is a rather slender and roundish early minuscule: a has two forms; h has a tendency to bend backward. Several ligatures seen in the Capitulare do not occur in the larger script of the Prologus. Notae Tironianae are used here and there to save space. Ninth-century additions with neumes are seen on fol. 73v. |
