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

Written in a Rhaetian centre of good calligraphic standards. The manuscript is probably to be connected with two fragments in Zürich, Staatsarchiv, Antiquarische Gesellschaft 19, fol. 66 (CLA 7.1014) and Zentralbibliothek Z XIV 29, fragm. III, since they show the same late twelfth-century librarian's entries (see fol. 68). A sixteenth-century shelf-mark 'K 22' stands on fol. 9.

Script Commentary

Script is a fully developed Rhaetian minuscule: open a is the rule, Caroline a the exception; the nt ligature occurs only at line-end; ti ligature is used for hard ti. The table of contents for the Vita S Hilarionis is by a late twelfth-century hand (foll. 68v, 77v).
