Script Uncial
Date VIII–IX (780 - 820)
Origin and Provenance

Written no doubt at Lucca. The name Jacobus in the introductory verses to 'De Natura Rerum' has been identified with the Bishop of Lucca (801–18), but hardly on sufficient evidence.

Script Commentary

Script is uncial of the latest type with frequent intrusions of minuscule or cursive elements; here and there (foll. 322v, 323) the scribe drops into pre-Caroline minuscule of a type which he uses for the poem entered on fol. 232v (see CLA 3.303c).
