| Script Commentary |
Script is Caroline minuscule of a distinct type, in vogue at St Amand and Salzburg under Archbishop Arno, abbot of St Amand (783–821): a is the rule, open a the exception; noteworthy are the high oblique c and the v-shaped u in the ending -orum; the general impression is one of slimness and angularity; a distinctive half-uncial is used for the first line of new sections and prefaces (foll. 1, 78, 78v). In the Passion according to Matthew (foll. 72v ff.) the superposed letters e, s, t are used to indicate the changes in intonation. An inventory of a sacristy was added by an eleventh-century hand on the originally blank fol. 36. |
