Script Caroline and Pre-Caroline Minuscule
Date VIII ex (776 - 800)
Origin and Provenance

Written presumably at Verona, to judge by the script. Our manuscript was completed in some German centre early in the ninth century. Provenance the cathedral library of Freising: the usual twelfth-century ex-libris stands on fol. 1, and a printed ex-libris is seen on the inside of the front cover.

Script Commentary

Script is early minuscule by two very different hands: the first (foll. 1–18v) writes a graceful Caroline minuscule recalling a hand in the Berlin Egino-Codex from Verona (CLA 8.1057); the second (foll. 19–40v) writes a rather stately script with many ligatures: i-longa occurs frequently and irregularly; the et ligature with the tag at the top is noteworthy. Variant readings in the margin are usually encircled by dots. Critical points as aids in construction occur passim; the sign K occurs frequently to mark the beginning of a chapter. Many later glosses.
