Script Commentary

Script by several hands is an early Caroline minuscule of the Veronese type: g has several forms, among them the one with the longish flat top characteristic of Verona; i-longa occurs initially; a v-shaped u occurs at the end of words. Numerous erasures and corrections, some contemporary, some saec. IX and XII. Probationes pennae saec. IX-XI on p. 1, originally left blank. Neumes on the last page.
