| Origin and Provenance |
Written presumably in Northumbria, by a scribe trained in the pure Irish tradition. The text is of the Irish family and has striking affinities with Codex E of the Gospels (London, Egerton 609, saec. IX in.), copied from an Insular exemplar. |

| Script Commentary |
Script is a late example of Insular majuscule verging on minuscule with a distinct Irish flavour; d, n, r, s have both the uncial and minuscule form; h often has the shaft bending far to the left; both branches of y are curved to the right and the stem turns to the left; z sweeps below the line and the last stroke is an upward curl; uncial A, occurs; a three-arched M standing on its side occurs at line-ends (as in CLA 2.187 and 274, etc.); suprascript u resembles an oblique shallow s. |
