Script Commentary

Script is pre-Caroline minuscule by several hands, some crude, some neat and orderly: the main hand uses many cursive features; noteworthy is the form o branching at the top (foll. 10 ff.); the shoulder of r curves upward; i-longa occurs initially and often after r and ; N with the second upright comma-shaped is seen in the uncial headings and when capital. The hand on foll. 73v–75 recalls one of the hands of Einsiedeln 199 (638) (CLA 7.875). Liturgical entries with neumes saec. X are seen on foll. 75–75v.
