Type | Lotharingian | |
Notes | A competent script that employs a range of Lotharingian forms. The punctum is distinctive in so far as the initial stroke often joins the second near towards the mid-point rather than at the left extreme. Both disjunct and conjunct forms of the pes (2a) are used. More expansive forms include two conjunct torculus (3c) and a scandicus flexus (4c) over the first syllables of lines i-iii. | |
