Script Commentary

Script is pre-Caroline minuscule of the Rhaetian type, somewhat broader and perhaps older than the sacramentaries seen in St Gall 348 and 350 (CLA 7.936 and 939): a has the open a form; g is 3-shaped; striking is the avoidance of i-longa, even at the beginning of a word; has a meagre closed loop to the left; ligatures include ni, ri, and ti for both soft and hard ti. A later hand, probably saec. IX–X, filled out the rest of the page with an offertory prayer.
