Script Commentary |
Script is early Caroline minuscule of Italian type, by many hands, some recalling the Veronese script practised in the time of Pacificus: noteworthy are the pointed a and the flat-topped g used by some scribes; i-longa occurs initially and medially; r often has a small base. A ninth-century St Gall hand thoroughly corrected the manuscript and erased certain passages. |
