| Script Commentary |
Script is a very distinct type of pre-Caroline minuscule, practised in Corbie and neighbouring centres and named after its two characteristic letters, a and b: i-longa occurs initially; ti ligature is used for unassibilated ti, ci for the assibilated sound. Neumes were inserted on a number of pages and long passages with musical notation added on foll. 139v, 171v, 257v. The Passio of St Laurence on foll. 134–137 and part of the life of St Hilary on fol. 248 f. have been erased and rewritten in ordinary minuscule saec. X. |
