Script Commentary

Script is a comely, large-sized uncial of an old type: the bow of uncial A is thin and pointed; the eye of uncial E is small and open, recalling the form in Codex k (Turin G. VII. 15), probably from Africa; the first arch of uncial M is round, the second angular; the bow of uncial Q is broad; the form of U is reminiscent of Rustic capital.
