Script Commentary

Script, by several hands, is pre-Caroline minuscule of the type called a-b from its distinguishing letters (for a full description of this script, see CLA 5.554); some of the hands show the dissolution of the type. A contemporary addition on fol. 190 is in French pre-Caroline minuscule: a has two forms; N occurs in a correction by first hand; numerous ligatures including ti ligature for hard and soft ti. Some ninth and tenth-century corrections.
