Script Commentary |
Script is an expert Anglo-Saxon majuscule of the compressed type verging on minuscule: a mostly majuscule, rarely minuscule, once in the open form; d and n are minuscule; r majuscule (with long stem and open) and minuscule are both used, likewise s; ligatures with e are frequent; mi, ni, and ti occur. Some contemporary and later corrections. Curiously enough a late-medievai pair of spectacles left a clear offset on the verso. |
