Script

According to the British Library (which is the current owner) the script used for the manuscript is Gothic Cursive. It was written in Middle French. This style of French began around the time of Christine de Pizan and continued until the early part of the 17th century. The photo above shows one of the pages of script. When carefully reviewing the entire manuscript it can be seen that there were several scribes involved in writing out the manuscript. Considering the state of manuscript production during this time period (scriptoriums), it is quite typical to find multiple individuals involved.

When viewing medieval manuscripts it is sometimes possible to see that the ink is concentrated on the lower portions of a letter. This is due to the writing surface used by medieval scribes. Writing desks of this era had a steep slope.
