• Hannover Germany Kestner-Museum MS Culemann Kat. I 48 (369)

Written presumably in the Luxeuil area, as the script suggests. Nothing is known about the history of the fragment before it came into the possession of Friedrich Culemann.

Script is a calligraphic Merovingian minuscule akin to the Luxeuil and a-z types, but lacking the numerous ligatures of the first and the characteristic angularity of the second: a has the angular form found in the a-z type; the forms of f, Ᵹ, and ꞇ: smack of Insular; i-longa occurs initially; o has a horn and connects with a tag to a following tall letter; q is often open; ascenders are long.

☛Tewes, Luxueil No. 4. ☛Ganz, Luxeuil: uses Insular flat-topped g.
