| Script Commentary |
Script is a graceful pointed Anglo-Saxon minuscule recalling the type seen in part of London Egerton 2831 (CLA 2.196b): open a is the rule, but the uncial form is not infrequent; d has two forms; Ᵹ in ligature resembles an elongated shallow s; i-longa occurs even medially; y here and there is tall and its left branch makes an upward-sweeping curve; noteworthy are the ligatures of co, fi (with the curious s-like shape of the i transecting the curve of the f), and tio. For other details see under Zürich, CLA 7.1009. |
