Script Commentary |
Script is an Anglo-Saxon minuscule with some majuscule elements: a has two forms, the closed minuscule form or the majuscule form with the upper parts of the two bows forming a straight line; d occurs in both uncial and minuscule forms; n and r may easily be confused; b and ꞅ occur in ligature with u suprascript in the bus-ending. |
