So today for class I was transcribing 60-odd lines of Lucretius from a manuscript facsimile (unsure of date, but it looked to be later Carolingian minuscule, so anywhere from 10th century till 12th - don't quote me on that, I'm out of practice), and at the bottom of the first page there's a little note about whose book it is, and I could not help but notice that the script of that note looked awfully familiar...
I think that note might have been written by the same person who wrote down the Compendium de uita antecristi. :D THEY WRITE THE EXACT SAME FOURS, THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE, look I spent hours staring at four pages of this script, I know that handwriting! OMG I AM SO TELLING THE PROFESSOR TONIGHT.
*goes back to reading about humanists*
ETA: Lol Lucretius manuscript is from around 800, TOLD YOU NOT TO QUOTE ME, sooooooo out of practice.
