Script Commentary

Script, by several hands, some more expert than others, is early Caroline minuscule: a is the rule, open a the exception; i-longa and i prolonged below the line are used; the first upright of N descends below the line and the oblique almost coincides with the base-line; ligatures include ligatured mi, for mi. Contemporary Insular minuscule by the hand of a corrector (foll. 5, 75v, 116). Probatio pennae in Anglo-Saxon minuscule on fol. 151v.
