Script Commentary	Script of foll. 1–8 is an expert, fluent, unmistakably French pre-Caroline minuscule: the characteristic letters are broken b and l and sickle-shaped u; script of the rest of this portion (foll. 8v–78v) is a late but graceful uncial by more than one hand, with occasional minuscule intrusions: LL run together. Contemporary corrections in semi-cursive minuscule on foll. 22v, 23, 40v, 41.
