Script Commentary	Script is an early type of Caroline minuscule with some Insular elements (form of g, high e in ligature); on certain pages the scribe allows a number of uncial and half-uncial forms to slip into his text, namely B, Ꝺ, G, L, R; open a prevails; the club-shaped tall shafts of ascenders are noteworthy. Early corrections in crude pre-Caroline minuscule.
