- Description by Madyson Huck, with assistance from Dr. Adrienne Williams Boyarin (ENGL), as part of coursework for a manuscript studies class with Dr. Williams Boyarin, June 2022:The dimensions of the fragments vary, with the largest (a nearly complete text block, with margins trimmed off) measuring 80 x 70mm. Condition also varies. The letters on some fragments are faded and discoloured (particularly on the spine), while others (visible on the inner covers) are in excellent condition. Reddish plummet ruling is clearly visible on inner-cover fragments.There is evidence of illumination on all of the fragments, and the details match for each: illuminated gold initials are surrounded by blue or red with white details, similar in design to the line fillers, which are red and blue on each side with white details and a gold central circle.Script contains primary features of gothic textualis, including straight strokes, even for curved letters like "o" and "c", and the biting of connected letters, such as "d" and "e". The script also contains slight cursive features; many words are written without the pen being lifted.Fragment 1, top spine. The recto and verso are both visible on the spine (47x 36 mm). In the front inside cover, the the recto is visible (40 x 50 mm). Fragment 2, middle spine. The recto and verso are both visible on the spine(47 x 40 mm). In the front inside cover, part of the verso is also visible (40 x 10 mm).Fragment 3, bottom spine, visible only in the front inside cover (55 x 30mm). Fragment 4, bottom spine, visible only in the back inside cover (80 x 70mm).
