Script Commentary |
Script is Winithar's peculiar pre-Caroline minuscule (see CLA 7.893a), more or less well written at different stages of his career: noteworthy is the open bow of q. The scribe names himself several times (p. 178, 181, 305, and 493), apparently a little proud of his performance. |
