• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 9526

Written either in England or in an Anglo-Saxon centre on the Continent, presumably in the same scriptorium which produced Lat. 9538 (CLA 5.588). Provenance Echternach: the title, in the familiar fifteenth-century Echternach librarian's hand, and the old press-mark 'B' (over an erasure) are on fol. 1. First catalogued in the Bibliothèque Nationale as Suppl. Lat. 987 B.

Script is an expert Anglo-Saxon minuscule by two hands; the first is very similar to the script of MS Lat. 9538 (CLA 5.588); the second begins near the bottom of fol. 47v: a is mostly open, capital A with angular cross-bar and elongated left shaft is found occasionally at beginning of a word; the first hand uses ꝺ, the second both ꝺ and d; g is s-shaped; N occasionally uncial; the top stroke of t extends well to the right; the bi ligature is formed by prolonging the bow of b below the line; tall e and e with the lower bow reversed are often found in ligature; the mi ligature and nt with the subscript t also occur. Some pages show a preponderance of majuscule elements (foll. 3, 11).

☛Shelfmark (lat. 9527) corrected. See also the note in the manuscript.
