• Verona Italy Biblioteca Capitolare LV (53) [partly palimpsest]

Written doubtless in North Italy, perhaps at Verona, and presumably copied from a Visigothic examplar.

Script is in different hands, all uncalligraphic, using uncial on foll. 1–5v, half-uncial on foll. 5v–20v (top 3 lines), with imitation half-uncial on the rest of the page, lastly cursive minuscule on foll. 21–97v; in the uncial part LL run together; the cross of X is long and extends below the line; the half-uncial is practically minuscule; the cursive minuscule is of the North Italian variety with numerous ligatures with i and with t (cf. CLA 4.425, 427, 428); the ligature ti is used indifferently for both the hard and soft ti; the first line of each section is in uncial; the cursive hand, especially on fol. 42 manifestly follows a Visigothic model.
