Volume / Number: 9 / 1406

• Würzburg Germany Universitätsbibliothek M. P. Th. F. 19

Written presumably in a West German scriptorium with Anglo-Saxon connections, possibly at Lorsch or its vicinity, if we can trust the hint given by the omission-mark. Later in the Würzburg Cathedral Library, where the manuscript bore the numbers 'LXXIIII' and '38'.

Script, by several hands, is mostly Anglo-Saxon minuscule, but foll. 1v (lower half) to 14v (line 4) are in early Caroline minuscule by an inexpert scribe; the Anglo-Saxon hands frequently show Continental influence, especially in opening words ot sections; the Greek letters Δ and π, also the Insular form of M consisting of three shafts barred horizontally, and square or lozenge-shaped Ο (fol. 61v) occur in majuscule headings; the Caroline minuscule is somewhat broad: the top-stroke of h occasionally bends to the left and ends in a curve to the right. Old High German glosses scratched in. The name 'Gerunc' (saec. X) occurs on fol. 67v. Scribbles and neumes by many hands on fol. 1, originally left blank, and in margins here and there.
