Date Information
| Date(s): | c. 1250 to 1275 |
| Notes: | The Lancelot-Graal project has fourteenth century. The script, written above top line, with double compartment 'a' consistently with open upper compartment and long and straight 's' occurring in final position, suggests a potentially earlier date in the second half of the thirteenth century (cf. also the Arthurian Fiction database which has thirteenth century). The later date and location may be based on those of BnF, fr. 341, which is designated as the accompanying volume. However, the measurements of the layout, script and decorative programme seem to contradict this. |
Hand
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (5) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 1ra to f. 48vb |
| Date(s): | c. 1250 to 1275 |
| Scribe description: | The hand is not very consistent and evolves throughout the copy. A change of or a blunt pen may cause differences in the thickness of the letters. At the end of this part of the copy the writing slants to the right. The upper compartment of 'a' is consistenly open. The letter 'e' is tongued in final position. There is no diacritic on 'i'. |
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (5) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 49ra to f. 88rb |
| Date(s): | c. 1275 to 1300 |
| Scribe description: | This hand differs from the previous one in that it has distinctive litterae elongatae at the bottom of the writing space, particular straight 's' and 'f'. It is more modern in that the upper compartment of 'a' is sometimes closed. Both hands use 'northern' crossed tironian 'et'. |
