| Script Commentary |
Script is a crude Insular majuscule by an inexpert and probably aged hand: R and S are majuscule, n is minuscule (except once on fol. 1v); a is like contiguous oc, an unusual form of the letter, resembling a capital, is used here and there (see fol. 2v, line 3); the flat tops of Ᵹ and ꞇ end in a thick dot instead of the usual wedge; the regular use of uncial M is noteworthy; the upper right and lower left branches of x are left hanging. |
