Script Commentary |
Script is expert calligraphic ‘Capitalis’ nearest to ‘Rustica’: the bow of A is distinctly pointed; L is hook-shaped; the oblique of N rises above the line; the upper end of S is either an oblique stroke or barely indicated. The verso of the three largest fragments contains a few cancelled letters, accounts of much later date, and some other traces of writing (teste Vitelli). |
