Script Commentary

Noteworthy features are: the very pointed bow of A, N with the first upright descending below the line and with the peculiar position of its middle stroke, and the s made of three strokes; the diminished size of o doubtless derives from Greek calligraphy. For further details, see under London (CLA 2.208).
