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

Written in the Rhaetian centre which produced another legal manuscript, St Gall 722 (CLA 7.946), and probably at Chur, since Bishop Remedius (ca. 800) is mentioned in the Capitula Remedii of the latter volume. The ex-libris 'Monasterii Weingartensis A° 1606' is seen on fol. 2.

Script Commentary

Script is Rhaetian minuscule by several hands, in part closely akin to the upper script of St Gall 722 , with which our manuscript virtually agrees in size: a has two forms, with open a predominating; has the typical Rhaetian form; numerous ligatures, including nt in mid-word and ti ligature for hard and soft ti; a curious form of suprascript a occurs in ligature. The uncial forms seen in the headings are characteristic of this school. A curious sloping minuscule saec. IX under Rhaetian influence is used for fol. 103r–v. A number of uncial headings were supplied in the ninth century.
