Script Commentary

Script is a distinctive type of uncial seen in the Florentine and Pommersfelden Digests (CLA 3.295 and 9.1351) and other legal manuscripts: B is tall and its lower bow protrudes; the bow of R descends to the base-line and its last stroke is almost horizontal. Greek scholia were added apparently by two scribes.
