Origin and Provenance |
Written presumably in Central Italy, perhaps at Nonantola. Palaeographically connected with other Sessoriani: the type of decoration recalls Sessor. 94 (CLA 4.425); the table of contents entered on fol. 1, originally blank, is by the familiar Nonantola hand seen in several other Codices Sessoriani (cf. CLA 4.423, 425). The ex-libris of the Cistercians of Santa Croce in Gerusalernme is seen on foll. 1–2. |

Script Commentary |
Script is a rather hurried, not inexpert uncial of a late type: B has a protruding lower bow; the tail of 𐌾 turns up to the right; the second upright of N is often comma-like and meets the oblique stroke above the base-line; the bow of R descends almost to the line; uncial E with the cedilla is used for AE; FF and LL run together; half-uncial letters occur here and there at line-ends. On fol. 112v the scribe drops into minuscule in order to finish the first part of the MS on that page. |
