• Rome Italy Badia di S. Paolo fuori le mura fr. without number

Written doubtless in Italy, probably in the North, to judge by the resemblance of script and format to the Ancona Gospels (CLA 3.278).

Script is calligraphic broad uncial of late Italian type: the shaft of A begins with a horizontal approach stroke and its bow, formed with a hair-line, is shallow; the tail of G is very thin; the tops of h and L have fine serifs extending left and right; S is mostly top-heavy; upper curves and short horizontals end in split finials; ligatures of AE and UR occur.
