[Untitled, alternate version of Catalogus Rariorum in schola Anatomica] Oxoniensi
Brent Nelson General Editor
Oxvford Bodleian Library Rawlinson D. 912 [Untitled list] fols. 203-5 The scribe uses the "v" form only at the start of words or after initials that give space for the extra ascender (after A in Avis for example), otherwise, he does sometimes discriminate really between v and u in pronunciation. Capitalization is irregular. The scribe uses the same letter form for "I" and "J" throughout This is a different version of the list on folio 201, but in a rougher hand and with list broken into room sections.
