Script Commentary

Script is inexpert, compressed Anglo-Saxon majuscule by a Continental hand (part of p. 23 is in minuscule, but apparently by the same hand): d and , n, R, s and are used, but d more often than ; q is open at the top; the entire alphabet is contained in the two scholastic verses on p. 89.
