Script Commentary |
Script is an Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a German type with characteristic long descenders and Ᵹ with a pointed protruding chest; another form of g resembles an elongated 3, and g in ligature with following n resembles an elongated s; final m often has the third shaft curved and going below the line; in the ci ligature c is closed; numerous ligatures used. Misplaced familiarity with Greek is seen in ꝺH for de and in ΧΠS and ΧΠΙ for XPS and XPI (foll. 7 and 1). Corrections in ninth-century Caroline minuscule. The probatio pennae 'omniu inimicorum suorū domabitur'(!) in Caroline minuscule is seen on fol. 16v. |
