Date notes'D'après l'écriture, nos feuillets datent certainement du 13e siècle. Cependant on remarque certains traits de l'écriture qui, à mon avis, permettent d'être plus précis et de s'arrêter au milieu de ce siècle' (Peri 1955, 3). The presence of barred tironian 'et' and 'v' in initial position suggests a later date, however.
