Script Commentary

Script of foll. 1–2r is a roundish early minuscule somewhat recalling the type found in Schaffhausen Min. 80 (fly-leaves) + Zurich Antiquarische Gesellschaft 19, No. XLII, fol. 67 (CLA 7.1003): open a is more frequent than minuscule a; d has two forms; e rises above the head-line; i-longa is used at the beginning of words; the shoulder of r extends slightly over the following letter; t has two forms. The original hand breaks off in the middle of a sentence on fol. 2r; a tenth-century hand continued the text.
