Fragment of a bifolium from Haymo of Halberstadt, Homily LXXI for Easter Monday, in Latin, manuscript on parchment C11th

Descripción

[France, late 11th century] Fragment, c. 320 × 213 mm, comprising a large part of one leaf with most of two columns of text, preserving 26 lines each, and a small part of the conjoint leaf, preserving a narrow part of a single column, blind-ruled and written in a very fine Caroline minuscule script, the text of the more complete page comprising [duo]decim apostolis non fuerint … quando illum in sepulchro collo[catum] (pr. by Migne, Patrologia Latina, CXVIII (1852), col. 457 line 7 458 line 2); doubtless recovered from use as binders waste, with consequent hold and other damage, but the surviving text mostly very clear and easily legible. Features of this handsome 11th-century script are the use of tall s (which descends slightly below the line) except as capital letters when the round form is used, the use of both sloping and upright d , the frequent use of st and ct ligatures, the r which descends slightly below the line, the use of the ampersand within words to stand for et e.g. quilib& and occasional (inappropriate) use of the ae ligature e.g. ævangelista .
