Script Commentary

Script, by a fairly expert scribe, is Anglo-Saxon minuscule of a Germanic type with theta-shaped e and long descenders: a is open; is the rule; has two forms, one with a protruding chest, the other resembling an elongated arabic 3 with a flat top; n is the rule, but N is used at line-end to fill up space. To be compared with the fragments of an anonymous commentary on Matthew in Fulda and formerly also in Dresden (CLA 8.1181, and 12.**1181), and the manuscripts enumerated under 12.1698. A Graeco-Latin glossary on fol. 2.
