Origin and Provenance

Written in England or in an Anglo-Saxon centre on the Continent, presumably in the same scriptorium as Gregory's Homilies on foll. 18–40 (see next item), which practically agree in size and number of lines, and contain marginal notes by the same Anglo-Saxon corrector saec. VIII (see foll. 33 and 51).

Script Commentary

Script, by more than one hand, is compressed, somewhat florid Anglo-Saxon majuscule verging on minuscule: majuscule a predominates; d, n, and r are mostly minuscule; both forms of s are common; l often goes below the following letter; u is often suprascript and cup-shaped; both branches of y curve to the right. The entry 'alleluia' on fol. 52v in Merovingian cursive seems to be by an Anglo-Saxon scribe.
