Script Commentary |
Script is a roundish heavy minuscule of distinctly Italian character with ascenders strikingly club-shaped: both d and ꝺ are used, f is almost half-uncial, suprascript u is v-shaped; ti ligature is used for hard and soft ti; the ra ligature with the open a is characteristic. MS Paris Lat. 2367 contains 112 folios: foll. 1–2 contain notes by Itier; foll. 3–110 contain Bede on the Catholic Epistles, saec. IX; fol. 112 belonged to MS Lat. 2428. |
