Palaeography: | CISP: The lettering is Insular half-uncial. The D, H, G and first I all have wedge-shaped finials. The G is half-uncial, the H is minuscule and the N has a curved top stroke. The O is heart-shaped, as is the open bow of the D which has an ascender that bends to the left over it. The bottom right corner of the minuscule A has a flourish like those found on CLMAC/151, CLMAC/153, CLMAC/185, and CLMAC/191, although in this case the bow does not seem to be quite so angular. |
