              <text>Switzerland (?), Early 12th Century. Latin Text; Revived Carolingian Script.&#13;
&#13;
The chief interest of this text is the interlinear glosses and commentaries from the writings of Bede, Jerome, Gregory, and other Church Fathers. These were inserted at various times during the following century around a central panel of the original text. All the hands are based on the revival of early carolingian minuscule. The beginning of the trend to compactness and angularity is seen in many of these later additions. This manuscript shows through marks of ownership that it was in Geneva for centuries. It is therefore probable that it was written in Switzerland.&#13;
&#13;
The color and texture of vellum is frequently an aid in allocating a manuscript to a certain district and time. The 12th century skins are often yellower than those of later dates as the result of the fact that a weaker lime-water solution had been used in the bleaching process. &#13;
&#13;
The primary script is Carolingian, with one of the glosses in a minuscule very similar to that in Leaf 04. The vellum is yellowed, brittle, and cut on all four sides, with some visible follicles. The leaf is lined in either lead or very light ink, and the ink used for the text is brown with some fading. The gloss hands are different from both one another and from the Biblical text, and the Carolingian gloss hand has decorative brackets setting apart each section. Scribal corrections on this leaf include an erasure mark on the last line of the bottom gloss on the recto; on the verso there is a small hole at the end of the first paragraph. Further identifying marks include a smudge on the gloss on the recto side in the bottom right corner and a small number "50" written in ink and a "47" written in pencil, both in the top right corner of the recto. With the exception of the brackets, the leaf is not illuminated or decorated.&#13;
