Script Commentary

Script is expert and rapid, almost cursive pointed minuscule of North English type, with many ligatures: m occurs lying on its side at line-end; z thrusts boldly below the line; g in ligature resembles an elongated s; subscript i is frequent in ligature; the groups ꞇaꞇ and even ꞇaꞇe have a common head-line. Some words were transcribed interlinearly in the fifteenth century.
