Script Commentary

Script is a bold but ungainly uncial of the latest type, with excessive use of serifs: Uncial A has a flat top and the bow often seems suspended; the tail of G has a tick to the right; the last stroke of N is comma-like and cuts the oblique stroke in the middle, a feature of several MSS from North Italy; the cross-stroke of T has a wedge-shaped finial at either end; the second stroke of X sweeps down to the line below. There are a number of marginal entries in ninth-century minuscule of the Nonantola type.
