| Condition: | Fine quality parchment, with very occasional holes in outer margins, e.g. f. 211. There are signs of wear to ff. 1r and 356v, and creasing and folded lower corners throughout. Small, pen-flourished initials on ff. 16v and 288r have been cut out. |
Date Information
| Date(s): | ?1375 to 1426 |
| Notes: | Its listing in the Sforza-Visconti inventory of 1426 (no. 943) provides a terminus ad quem. It tends to be recorded in scholarship as a 15th-c. production (e.g. Lancelot-Graal Project). Bogdanow 1990, 123, however, suggests it was copied in the 14th c. (cf. Allaire & Psaki 2002, 19: 'c. 1375-1400'). A date towards the end of the 14th c. cannot be excluded on palaeographical grounds. |

| Scribe description: | Two-compartment 'a' (upper bow often closed with a hairline); 'd' with near-horizontal shaft, but the half-Uncial form does occasionally occur (e.g. uppermost line of f. 1vb); trailing or round 's' in final position; majuscule 'S' has a point separating the upper and lower halves (cf. BnF, fr. 343). Tironian 'et' is used without a bar, and the 'con'/'com' abbreviation is widely employed. |
