Script Commentary

Script is expert Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a distinct type recalling the Wolfenbüttel Capitularia from Fulda (CLA 9.1381): uncial here and there; g has two forms, either like an elongated numeral 3 or with a protruding chest; i-longa occurs; occasionally majuscule N; descenders go well below the line.
