Script Commentary

Script is a firm upright early Caroline minuscule of the Salzburg type showing Saint-Denis influence: the left leg of x hangs down almost vertically; ascenders are thickened and cut off obliquely; ligatures occur e.g. of ci, li, NT, or, ra, rt. At the beginning of a paragraph the name ‘agustinus’ is written in half-uncial.
