Script is a not very expert, but careful half-uncial: a has the closed form; uncial A used in the titles is noteworthy; uncial 𐌾 occurs here and there; the oblique of N meets the second upright well above the base-line; the top of curves low down at the left; the first stroke of u is almost c-shaped; a script showing Insular influence is seen on fol. 6v (8 lines). Some Merovingian scribbles on fol. 118v .
