Script Commentary |
Script is an early Caroline minuscule of Veronese type by several scribes: a and open a; two scribes still use the Insular form of g; noteworthy is the use of uncial N with the first upright descending well below the line and the second comma-shaped (foll. 43 ff.); the roundish first hand recalls the script of parts of the Egino codex and Munich CLM 6402 (CLA 8.1057 and CLA 9.1281). Some corrections are apparently in the hand of the archdeacon Pacificus. |
