Script Commentary

Script is a rather well-developed minuscule: both a and open a are used; g is mostly Insular but occasionally the upper part is looped; the shaft of h often bends to the left; majuscule N occurs; noteworthy is the ligature at (in 'rogatiani' on CLA plate). Some rubrics and recurrent formulas are in a more cursive script. Additions in contemporary and late ninth- or tenth-century script on foll. 1 and 184 ff. German names are entered saec. IX and X on several pages.
