| Condition: | Very good quality parchment, with very occasional marginal sewn tears (e.g. base of f. 65). There are numerous material lacunae, f. 7 is mutilated due to an excised miniature, and decoration has sometimes rubbed (e.g. on f. 22vb). |
Date Information
| Date(s): | c. 1300 |
| Notes: | 'XIIIe-XIVe siècle' (Micha 1963, 483; cf. Brandsma 2003, 129). 'c. 1300', on the basis of decoration and illustration (Lancelot-Graal Project). |
Hand
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (4) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 1ra to f. 100vb |
| Date(s): | c. 1300 |
| Scribe description: | Two-compartment 'a' (closed upper bow), some forked ascenders, some 'i'-ticks, round 's' in final position, very occasional 'v' in initial position (e.g. f. 3rb, l. 39). Extensive use of tironian 'et' (barred) and other abbreviations, including 'con'/'com'. The hand points to a date of the end of the 13th c. or the early 14th. |
