Date Information
| Date(s): | ?1275 to 1325 |
| Notes: | 'Fin du XIIIe siècle' (Pickford 1960, 131). Late-13th c. or early 14th c. on palaeographical grounds; the former perhaps more likely. |
Hand
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (4) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 1ra to f. 144vc |
| Date(s): | ?1275 to 1325 |
| Scribe description: | A small bookhand, featuring two-compartment 'a' (open upper bow), some bifurcated ascenders, both tall and round 's' in final position (though mostly the latter), both 'u' and 'v' in initial position, dotted 'y', and tironian 'et' with a bar. |
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (4) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 145ra to f. 152va |
| Date(s): | ?1275 to 1325 |
| Scribe description: | Less neat than Hand #1. The upper compartment of 'a' is sometimes barely visible. Cursive influence on occasional loops to 'd', and 'f' and tall 's', which can descend slightly below the baseline. |
| Level of Execution: | Execution object (4) |
| Folio(s): | From f. 153ra to f. 196vb |
| Date(s): | ?1275 to 1325 |
| Scribe description: | A more regular textualis, with two-compartment 'a', rücken 'g', round 's' consistently used in final position, initial 'v', and 'y' without a dot. |
