| Script Commentary |
Script is bold pre-Caroline minuscule by several hands: in the first hand the letters tend to lean distinctly to the left; the shafts of b, d, and l are markedly club-shaped; a has two forms: a and open a; both d and ꝺ occur; the first and last strokes of z are distinctly curved (the first concave, the last the reverse); in the second hand the stem of ꝺ has a characteristic break; ꞇ in both hands recalls the Rhaetian form with a closed loop at the left; some ligatures occur. |
