- Takami Matsuda, Richard A. Linenthal, and John Scahill, eds. The Medieval Book and a Modern Collector: Essays in Honour of Toshiyuki Takamiya (Cambridge: Brewer; Tokyo: Yushodo, 2004), pp. 179-96.
- Description
- Offers a "new listing of the hooked-g group of scribes" and attributes Takamiya MS 24 and two Takamiya fragments (MS 30 and single leaf from Plimpton MS) to the more specific "slanted hooked-g scribe," also responsible for Cambridge, Trinity College R.3.3; Oxford, Bodleian Library, Lyell 31; London, Lambeth Palace Library MS 256; and other portions of the Plimpton MS. Other distinctive features include violet ruling and frame, large format, gothic minuscule headings and running titles, and an identifiable spelling system.
