| Script Commentary |
Script of fol. 42 (on which the Horologium is found) is mixed Anglo-Saxon minuscule. Foll. 42v–43 (Orationes) are in an expert and graceful pointed Anglo-Saxon minuscule: uncial A with a thorn-like bow occurs at the beginning of words; the bows of d and q are often angular and open at the top; descenders are pointed and go well below the line; e in ligature occasionally resembles Arabic 8; titles to the prayers are in small uncial of an unmistakably Northumbrian type. The Paschal Tables (fol. 43 recto and verso) are in Anglo-Saxon majuscule of a compressed type. A few words in Greek by an inexpert hand. |
