Excerpt from A Manuscript of Jerome's De Viris Illustribus Belonging to the General Theological Seminary in New York The ms. Itself bears no date. It is carefully written in a Clear minus cule hand of the post-caroline period. The letters are full and round and show no trace of rigidity or angularity. The form of the letters and the general character of the writing indicate that Q was written towards the end of the rath century. Other palaeographical matters of detail, such as the abbreviations and contractions used, the fre quent joining of the preposition to the word governed by it, e without the cedilla for de and oe, i with a stroke over it in places where no con fusion with other letters could arise, accord with this view of the date. The script of Q is very beautiful and compares favorably with some of the handsomest writing of the Middle Ages.4 The letters are round and graceful in the Italian style, and the codex may have been written in Italy or southern France.
