Script Commentary

Script, by several hands, is early Caroline minuscule of Lorsch type: the uncial form of is probably an Anglo-Saxon symptom; i-longa occurs initially and here and there even medially; the second stroke of x resembles a leaning c, a form seen in other Lorsch manuscripts; NT ligature occurs even in mid-word. Marginalia by a contemporary hand are boxed in by rectangles; they probably go back to an earlier copy. Corrected in the ninth century. A ninth-century restoration of missing text seen on foll. 96–7. Notes by tenth- and fifteenth-century readers.
