Script Anglo-Saxon Minuscule

Origin and Provenance

Written apparently in England, to judge by palaeographical considerations. It is probable that folios 3 and 6, 17 and 22, 26 and 29 of Edinburgh MS Adv. 18. 6. 12 formed part of our manuscript: they have the same written space area. For provenance see the preceding item.

Script Commentary

Script is graceful Anglo-Saxon minuscule: d has two forms; i-longa occurs initially; the ti ligature resembles q with suprascript i; suprascript u and subscript letters frequent (in ui, ni, fi, nt); m written sideways on the line at line-end.
