Script Commentary

Script, in part uncalligraphic, shows various types of minuscule by at least five different hands, with some using a number of cursive elements; noteworthy is the form of capital N at beginning of a sentence with first upright turning to the left and the oblique very low; striking is the early occurrence of the added, unfunctional vertical in the bow of C and even in the E when in ligature with t. An eleventh-century hand rewrote the whole fol. 73v after it had been erased.
