Evidence
"They were written on parchment, and were characterized by right angles, and by being free of distinction signs between similar letters"
Remarks
Radiocarbon (C14) testing of the Tubingen manuscript dates it to 29-56 AH / 649-675 AD (p. 3, 16). The researchers note that while C14 provides an age range, technical standards such as calligraphy and linguistic standards are equally vital for dating (p. 12, 17). Variation in writing resulted from materials used, such as the difference between parchment and stone (p. 10).
