Script Commentary

Script is small graceful uncial of the characteristic type found in the Florentine Pandects (CLA 3.295) and in various legal fragments from Egypt (see CLA 12.1723): B and R have the typical forms; the oblique of N is thin and often sags, a sign of Greek influence. See under Berlin.
