Script Commentary

Script, by several hands, is an Anglo-Saxon type current in German centres under Anglo-Saxon influence: characteristic are the long descenders and the form of with protruding chest; a few lines on fol. 85 illustrate unsuccessful imitation of Anglo-Saxon. The Insular trick of using Greek letters is seen on fol. 26v in the word PROXIME. Many corrections in Insular and in Caroline minuscule. The name 'hartuuin' occurs at the foot of foll. 16v and 18v; Insular probationes pennae on foll. 114 and 114v; entries on fol. 3 by Amalricus have a Fulda-Mainz appearance; the probatio pennae 'omnium inimicorum', etc. (foll. 3 and 14v) is seen in several Würzburg manuscripts. A Freising hand, saec. XV, is seen on fol. 7v and passim.
