Script Commentary

Script is careful uncial of a distinct type associated primarily with legal manuscripts: the bow of A is small, thin and angular; B rises above the line; the tongue of E is thin; the two uprights of N are thick and the cross-stroke thin, as in Greek uncial; the upright of R descends below the line, the bow touches the line, and the last stroke is almost horizontal.
