• Wolfenbüttel Germany Herzog August Bibliothek Weißenburg 76 [palimpsest old]

Origin uncertain, presumably France. Used for re-writing in the late seventh or early eighth century in a French centre, probably in Burgundy. Belonged later to the monastery of Weissenburg.

Script is uncial of an early, but not very expert type: A has a shallow bow hardly touching the line; the hasta of E is oblique and the eye often closed; the first stroke of M is curved but generally unjoined, the second bow has an angular form. Each page begins with a large letter, an ancient practice.
