Script Caroline Minuscule
Date VIII–IX (780 - 820)
Origin and Provenance

Written at St Denis, presumably in the time of abbot Fardulfus (793–806), to judge by the script and abbreviations. Came to the monastery of St Thierry, Rheims at an early date (cf. the entry in crude capitals 'TEODERICU' on fol. 57); the twelfth-century press-mark 'Liber sci Theoderici. auferenti sit anathema' stands on fol. 1. Was numbered 78 in the St Thierry collection.

Script Commentary

Script, by more than one hand, is an early Caroline minuscule of the type seen in the St Denis manuscript written for abbot Fardulfus (cf. CLA 5.668): uncial is frequent; the two strokes of o often fail to join; v for u is found at line-ends; the lower left branch of x is long and almost vertical; the ligatures nt, or, rt occur. Liturgical entries in careless minuscule saec. IX on foll. 125 and 125v.
