Script Commentary

Script is either Irish majuscule in transition, in part roundish (p. 27, etc.), in part angular, compressed, and verging on minuscule, or plain Irish minuscule (p. 21): y has both branches curving to the right. Corrections by the contemporary Irish hand which also marked the Eusebian sections. Biblical glosses were added by a tenth-century minuscule hand on p. 3, originally left blank.
