Script Commentary

Script, by more than one hand, is pre-Caroline minuscule: a has two forms, with open a predominating; the shaft of h often leans to the left a feature of Burgundian manuscripts; the top of t loops down to the left; numerous ligatures, including an (with a suprascript and lying on its side) and nt (occasionally even in mid-word); noteworthy in the uncial headings are the form of N and the ligatures of MA and RA. For a fragment in Corbie a-b script saec. VIII–IX in the binding, see CLA 8.1156.
