Revived Carolingian Script

Note from Otto Ege: some of the letters in this book have been carefully compared with those in a manuscript known to have been ordered in Spain in 1189 A.D. by a certain Abbot Gutterius. It is possible that this leaf was written in the same monastery. However, many English and French manuscripts could present close similarities in the style of writing. Ephesians are mentioned. 

Bottom of recto last five lines starting from bottom of line 20 to line 23 is a diagonal tear which has been stitched measuring at 34 mm long 3 mm wide. On the margin of the recto between lines 21 and 22 there is an oval puncture measuring 13 x 10 mm. 

Visible in pencil on top of recto is the number 86. Along the sides there is darker gray due to frequent handling. 

the 24 lines are in dark black ink but there are occasional red initials and red glosses such as "Dom xxii" or "G Rx" to show abbreviated praise to God. On verso is visible that the writing was done around the page tear and stitch indicating the parchment had been sewn prior to writing.
