Script | Irish Minuscule and Majuscule |
Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
Origin and Provenance |
Written doubtless on the Continent in a scriptorium with Irish connections. The Munich fragments were removed from fifteenth century bindings of manuscripts from St Emmeram's at Regensburg, as is no doubt true of the other fragments too. |

Script Commentary |
Script is mostly a curious, debased Insular majuscule by an inexpert scribe: d has two forms: noteworthy is the uncial form with the long and almost vertical ascender; the bow of q is mostly open and rises above the stem; Continental influence is clearly seen in one of the fragments, especially in the use of the pen and in the forms of r and ꞅ. |
