| Script | Anglo-Saxon Minuscule |
| Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
| Origin and Provenance |
Written in an Anglo-Saxon scriptorium, possibly on the Continent, to judge by a certain similarity to one hand of Boulogne 58 (63 and 64), foll. 20v–21 (CLA 6.737). Our fragment comes also from St-Bertin (cf. the fifteenth-century ex-libris on fol. 1 of the manuscript proper). |

| Script Commentary |
Script is a somewhat stiff Anglo-Saxon minuscule still retaining some majuscule features: a has three forms; d has two forms, the uncial less frequent; e is theta-shaped here and there; the bow of p ends in a thickening resembling a comma, a feature peculiarly Insular; r is easily mistaken for n; minuscule s predominates and goes well below the line; the bows of d and q are open at the top. |
