Script Commentary |
Script of the main part is an awkward and debased Anglo-Saxon majuscule recalling one of the hands of M. p. th. f. 13 (CLA 9.1404): d is mostly minuscule, n regularly so; r has both majuscule and minuscule forms; s is mostly majuscule; uncial G occurs once; z resembles y; short horizontals curve up. Anglo-Saxon minuscule is seen on foll. 34–35v: a is frequent; Ᵹ resembles a cork-screw; the elongated fancy majuscules of the opening lines of fol. 35v are to be compared with the title of M. p. th. q. 18 (CLA 9.1432). |
