Script | Rhaetian Minuscule |
Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
Origin and Provenance |
Written in some Rhaetian centre or possibly by a Rhaetian scribe working in an Alemannic centre, since it was manifestly produced in the same scriptorium as St Gall MS 193 (CLA 7.915). The text of the 'Vita S Lucii' doubtless originates in Chur, the seat of that saint's cult. The manuscript presumably was at St Gall in the ninth century, since a copy of the 'Vita S Lucii' is listed in the extant catalogue of that time. |

Script Commentary |
Script is a typical, though not very calligraphic Rhaetian minuscule: both open a and a are used; uncial ꝺ occurs here and there; ꞇ has two forms, the characteristic Rhaetian and the Caroline, with the former often corrected to the Caroline; the nt ligature is used in mid-word. The ABC-verse 'adnexique globum', etc., is scratched in on p. 134 and also entered on p. 135. |
