Script Commentary |
Script is early German minuscule by several hands, mainly of two types; in the first part open a occurs only rarely, and ligatures are used, e.g. ent, mi, ni, NT; the script from fol. 126 on is more round: open a is frequent; tall broken-backed c occurs; the ti ligature is used for both the hard and soft ti; the ligature nt occurs even in mid-word. An unexplained word in Greek letters 'MHΛΛΦΛCT.H' occurs at the end of De Numeris. The Nota Tironiana for 'amen', in a contemporary addition, is seen on fol. 37. |
