Script Commentary

Script is a well-formed Caroline minuscule by many different hands, some manifestly representing an early stage as seen in CLA 6.786, 788, 790, with others representing a more advanced development. Numerous contemporary and ninth-century additions in the Martyrology refer to feasts and anniversaries of special interest to Metz.
