Script Commentary

Script is a crude pre-Caroline minuscule, with the two forms of a; descenders go far below the line. The liturgical rubrics in part are in debased uncial and distinguished either by a red or by a green wash: N has a curious form, the first stroke descending well below the line and the second being almost horizontal.
