Script Early Caroline Minuscule
Date VIII² (751 - 800)
Origin and Provenance

Origin uncertain, apparently North Italy, and possibly Verona; curiously enough the same type of script is seen in several Regensburg codices (cf. preceding item). The interesting inscription on fol. 1 (saec. X in.) perhaps related to Louganpert, who is known to have presented a number of codices to the monastery of St Emmeram 'pro Tutone episcopo'; Tuto was bishop of Regensburg between 894 and 930. Our volume was read by the humanist Johannes Aventinus of Regensburg (†1534), whose marginal notes occur passim.

Script Commentary

Script, similar to that of CLM 14537 (see preceding item), is a stately, early Caroline minuscule: the bow of a is broad and starts almost at the head line; often has the uncial form; g descends well below the line; the odd form of capital G seen on the last line of the title page is like the one seen in the title of the preceding item. The script of the corrections is more cursive and seems North Italian.
