Script Commentary

Script is a graceful, rapid, almost cursive Anglo-Saxon minuscule: a is open; both ꝺ and d occur; Ᵹ in ligatures resembles elongated s; i-longa is found initially and medially (huIus); majuscule S occurs; y has two forms; noteworthy are the elongated c in ligature and the curious fi ligature.
