Script Commentary |
Script is a large Irish minuscule: d and r are more frequent than ꝺ and R; minuscule n is regular; S and ꞅ are used indifferently; c is often tall, chiefly at the beginning of words; i-longa is used initially; the ligature of et occurs in several forms, one of which has the upper bow of e not only open but curving back. A number of probationes pennae saec. X or XI occur in the margin; also a pen-and-ink sketch of a nude body. |
