Script Commentary |
Script of foll. 1–37v is an early roundish minuscule of Southwest German type, closely resembling the script of CLM 14082 and 14379 (CLA 9.1290, 1296): a and d have two forms; the shaft of h often leans to the left or is even curved like a longish s; here and there the top of ꞇ bends down to the left; v-shaped u is found suprascript at line-end; a dot is often added to the lower left limb of x as in the Munich manuscripts; z is tall; numerous ligatures, including forms with a suprascript and with i subscript; ti ligature occurs for soft ti. The script of foll. 37v ff. is Anglo-Saxon minuscule with long, finely pointed descenders. |
