Copied by a single hand in Protogothic script from the first half of the twelfth century. Lateral compression affects the angular shapes of c and o, as well as the bowls of b, d, p and q. Besides, most of these bowls, alongside the head of g, are often left open. The tail of g is also open. High s, f and occasionally r have sloping feet. Similar finishing strokes are found in the descenders of p and q. Ascenders and descenders are rather short and wedged in the case of d. Ampersand is used and the left leg of x reaches below the baseline curling left. e-caudata is used as well as curling overline. With regards to punctuation, punctus simplex, punctus versus and punctus elevatus are all found.
