Script Pre-Caroline and Early Caroline Minuscule
Date VIII–IX (780 - 820)
Origin and Provenance

Written apparently in Benediktbeuern or a neighbouring monastery, to judge by the palaeographical features. The manuscript belonged to the abbey library. It must certainly have been there by the eleventh century as may be seen from the epitaph of Abbot Gotahelm on fol. 89v and from the copy of a local charter on fol. 92v.

Script Commentary

Script varies in different parts: CLA plate shows the pre-Caroline hand; two other hands are seen: the one which starts on fol. 65v seems to be that of the main scribe of CLM 4564 (excluded from CLA because other scribes in that manuscript are saec. IX); ligatures are numerous: ti ligature is used both for hard and soft ti; a occurs suprascript and attached to the preceding letter at the end of a line (fol. 50); uncial 𐌾 is used several times by the hand seen on CLA plate; the third hand uses v-shaped u even within the line.
