Volume / Number: 7 / 991

• Sankt Gallen Switzerland Stiftsbibliothek 1395 (p. 444–447)

Written presumably in Ireland. St Gall MS 1395, p. 430–433, and Zürich MS A.G. 19, No. XXXVI (CLA 7.989 and 1012) are similar in content and size.

Script, by a scribe of great dexterity, is large, somewhat informal Irish majuscule interspersed with minuscule elements: ꝺ, N, R, and ꞅ are far more frequent than d, n, r, and S; minuscule a occurs here and there; the cross-stroke of majuscule N either is almost horizontal near the base-line or is curved at the bottom and between widely spaced verticals so that the letter recalls a capital M; minuscule n is also used; ty occur in ligature; small Irish minuscule is used for alternative feminine readings and case-endings (see p. 446).
