Script Commentary

Script is a relatively broad Anglo-Saxon minuscule: descenders including g are short; oc, a (flat-topped), R and round S are used beside a, r and ; round d prevails by far; a occasionally has a long curved shaft even in mid-word; m turned sideways occurs at line-end; ligatures with enlarged e are frequent. Corrections in pointed Anglo-Saxon minuscule.
