Script Commentary	Script is a French pre-Caroline minuscule recalling somewhat the type of Boulogne 42 (47), St Gall 552 (CLA 6.736 and 7.942), and Utrecht 1003: a and d have two forms; initial i is occasionally prolonged below the line; ascenders and descenders are markedly long; suprascript a in ligature; nt ligature even in mid-word; ti ligature is used mostly for hard ti; the numeral VI occurs in the 𐌾-shaped ligature. The script was partly retraced, the text corrected, and many abbreviations modernized by a rough hand saec. XIII or XIV.
