Written in a humanist script influenced by roman typeface. In his commentary on the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection's Horae Beatae Mariae ad usum Romanum (Octavo Editions, 1999), Christopher de Hamel notes that this script is associated on “very little evidence” with Geoffroy Tory (c.1480-c.1533), printer to King Francis I of France. The script occurs in manuscripts from the centers of court patronage in northern France.
