| Script Commentary |
Script is calligraphic compressed majuscule verging on minuscule: a has two forms, the majuscule predominating; d and ꝺ, n, r, s and ꞅ are used; final a and t end in a characteristic thickening; the lower left limb of x turns slightly to the right; the ligature um occurs at line-end lying on its side. Pointed minuscule of Northumbrian type is used for the last two lines of each column. Both scripts recall the main hand of Kassel Theol. Fol. 21 (CLA 8.1134). Some late medieval scribbles. |
