Script | Irish Majuscule and Minuscule |
Date | VIII–IX (780 - 820) |
Origin and Provenance |
Written doubtless on the Continent in a scriptorium with Irish connections. The Plimpton leaves came, through J. Martini, from the Ernst Fischer collection, and originally, no doubt, as did the Munich fragments, from St Emmeram's at Regensburg. |

Script Commentary |
Script is a curious debased Insular majuscule by an inexpert scribe: d occasionally has the uncial form with the ascender almost vertical; i is often subscript after m and n, also after u and c; i-longa used initially and medially; the bow of q is mostly open and rises above the stem. See also under Cambridge (formerly Cheltenham) and Munich. |
