Script Commentary

Script is Irish, in part stately majuscule, in part expert minuscule: in the majuscule the half-uncial d is almost the rule; N is more frequent than n; R is regular; s is more frequent than ; uncial A occurs (p. 98); m at line-end is once turned sideways; in the minuscule r could be mistaken for n.
