The script is a rather messy Cursiva, with two-storey a that by itself makes it different from the VMS Latin script. But there are other character shapes that are comparable with those in the VMS, e.g. p tends to have an open top and x a right-side loop. I think the most interesting feature is the 8-shaped and high final s: considering the variability of the script, the 8 seems rather regular.

solvendi a culpis et penis sub specie pie=
tatis caritatis et misericordie iam dicto titulo
plene potestatis per Romanos episcopos sibi primum
assumpto; ex hiis paulatim atque latenter
It would be interesting to see if a similar 8-shaped final S also occurs in manuscripts from different areas.
