Distinctive hairlines at the end of the limb of 'h', at the top of 'l' (fork) and at the horizontal strokes of straight 'r' and 't' in final position. Abbreviations include superscript vowels, nasal bar used as general abbreviation mark and also used for q(ue), com- (9) and -us (superscript 9) abbreviations, 's'-like apostrophe, 'p' with bar through descender.

| Date(s): | c. 1300 to 1350 |
| Scribe description: | The script is similar to that of the previous scribe but has none of the distinctive hairlines. This hand has distinctive hairlines at the beginning of the upper horizontal stroke of crossed tironian et. Also tongued 'e' in final position. This scribe leaves less space for historiated initials (6 lines) and the place of bifolium signatures is different. |

| Folio(s): | From 72vb to 80vb |
| Date(s): | c. 1300 to 1350 |
| Scribe description: | Especially in the first few folios this hand seems less fluent. This scribe also has the 'dropping' 't', but the hairlines of 'r' in final position are less pronounced. This scribe seems to favour upward hairlines at the end of 'e' and 'u' in final position. This scribe makes many mistakes. Expungationm Interlinear corrections and corrections in the margin. |
