| Script Commentary |
Script is a degenerate half-uncial lapsing into minuscule: noteworthy is the frequent use of uncial g, though minuscule g is not infrequent; i-longa is used regularly, initially even before l as in 'Ille' and medially as in 'conIugiis'; n is always minuscule; the shoulder of r often extends above the next letter; z has the characteristic North Italian form (fol. 80) recalling Vercelli 183 (CLA 4.469); ligatures are freely used— ꞅꞅ run together and resemble a ligature of ns, a North Italian feature; shafts of tall letters are sometimes wedge-shaped, sometimes topped by a hair-line. The style of script varies considerably throughout the MS. |
