• Würzburg Germany Universitätsbibliothek M. P. Th. Q. 32 [palimpsest old]

Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre presumably on the Continent. Partly erased in the early ninth century and used for copying a penitential in the Würzburg or Fulda region. Belonged to the Würzburg Cathedral Library, where the manuscript bore the numbers 'LXVI' and ‘101'.

Script is a curious, pointed, and very slim Anglo-Saxon minuscule with some majuscule elements: open a and ꝺ are regularly majuscule; the upper part of e is mostly open; the tail of Ᵹ is long and sinuous; the tops of Ᵹ and ꞇ sag; descenders are unusually long and thin.
