| Script Commentary |
Script is an early example of South Italian minuscule, rapid and expert, with numerous ligatures in t: the ti ligature is used for both soft and hard sounds; the rule for i-longa is not yet strictly observed; a is often open like two contiguous c's; the back of c is mostly broken; ꝺ has normally the uncial form, g the minuscule; the loop of the cross-stroke of ꞇ does not descend to the base-line. |
