Script Anglo-Saxon Minuscule
Date VIII–IX (780 - 820)
Origin and Provenance

Written in an Anglo-Saxon centre in the Main region or in Hessen. The leaves were salvaged from the binding of Giessen MS 815, which at the end of the fifteenth century belonged to the monastery of Butzbach. Possibly a Butzbach scribe about 1500 tried to imitate the script of these leaves on sheets now kept in MS 1250.
