Comments |
Written in Ireland or Wales. Provenance St. Bertin.
Spelling shows frequent confusion of o and u and the usual Insular misuse of s and ss. No ornamentation; many passages being with a group of letters gradually diminishing in size - an Insular feature. Script is Insular majuscule and minuscule, passages often beginning with the higher and continuing with the lower script; at the foot of columns the scribe even drops into cursive minuscule. Celtic vernacular glosses occur. |
