Script Commentary

Script is a debased uncial interspersed with minuscule elements: minuscule b and n are used regularly, half-uncial occasionally; the uncial S has the upper curve reversed (i.e. cup-shaped); fol. 217 is in pre-Caroline minuscule with many ligatures: ti ligature occurs both for hard and soft ti. On fol. 232v, originally left blank, a contemporary pre-Caroline minuscule hand entered the poem 'Gregorius presul meritis'.
