Script Commentary

Script is a regular early Caroline minuscule with long ascenders and descenders: d has two forms; g is short; r goes below the line; few ligatures, including d with appended i (fol. 77); the cedilla of e is an elongated oval. Copied apparently from an Insular exemplar: 'tunc' often changed to 'tamen' by a ninth-century corrector; 'pquam' corrected to 'p'quam' (for postquam, fol. 63). A somewhat later hand using Insular added several hymns on foll. 131v–132; a tenth-century hand added prayers on fol. 132v.
