• Karlsruhe Germany Badische Landesbibliothek Aug. 222 (foll. 62–176)

Written at Reichenau, in part by the monk Alboinus whose name is found in the Reichenau Liber confraternitatum. It is one of the earliest books assignable to this monastery, which was founded in 724.

Script, by several hands, is a somewhat roundish Alemannic minuscule of the type practised in the Lake Constance region: a has two forms; z is tall, with its horizontals curved; the characteristic nt ligature occurs in mid-word; ti ligature is used for hard and soft ti. The scribe Alboinus, who finishes the volume, writes on the last page a compressed minuscule with the horned o and drops into Carolingian charter-hand in his subscription.
