• Fulda Germany Bischofliches Priesterseminar Inkunabel 56
• Fulda Germany Bischofliches Priesterseminar MS theol. 7/2 (fragm.)

Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre in Germany, apparently by a German scribe. The leaves were used in binding a copy of Bartolus de Saxoferrato, Lectura (GW 3499, 3531, 3478), at Fulda, as the binder’s stamps indicate.

Script is clumsy though rather regular Anglo-Saxon majuscule verging on minuscule, written apparently by a scribe insufficiently trained in Anglo-Saxon calligraphy: d and n prevail, ꝺ occurring rarely and N only at the beginning of sentences; R and r, S and ꞅ; Ᵹ is conspicuously gauche; e in ligatures is angular. A correction on fol. 1v in pointed Anglo-Saxon minuscule. Sixteenth-century notes of legal content on fol. 1v.
