Script | Anglo-Saxon Minuscule |
Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
Origin and Provenance |
Written in a scriptorium with Anglo-Saxon traditions, doubtless on the Continent. The medieval home of the manuscript may have been a Bavarian monastery: according to modern notes, two of the fragments were salvaged from the binding of an incunabulum which had belonged to the Franciscan convent at Amberg, the other two from a book which came from the Augustinian monastery of Beyharting near Rosenheim. |

Script Commentary |
Script, by a good scribe, is somewhat diluted Anglo-Saxon minuscule with longish descenders, on the whole inclined to the left: open a and ꝺ are used throughout; less than justice is done to the g. Corrections in contemporary Anglo-Saxon minuscule and in Caroline minuscule saec. IX and X. |
