Script Commentary

Script is a rapid cursive minuscule, letters showing a marked inclination to the left; apparently the same hand made corrections in G. V. 37; there is also resemblance to the script of the restoration in Milan, Ambros. C. 105 inf. (CLA 3.323b): i-longa is frequent initially; in the ri ligature i descends obliquely to the right and ends in an upward curve. The bottom two lines of fol. 113v are in Irish majuscule verging on minuscule and influenced by continental script.
