: <handDesc>

These search results reproduce every example of the use of <handDesc> in the Guidelines, including all localised and translated versions. In some cases, the examples have been drawn from discussion of other elements in the Guidelines and illustrating the use of <handDesc> is not the main focus of the passage in question. In other cases, examples may be direct translations of each other, and hence identical from the perspective of their encoding.

10.7.2.1 Writing

<handDesc>
 <p>Written in a <term>late Caroline minuscule</term>; versals in a
   form of <term>rustic capitals</term>; although the marginal and
   interlinear gloss is written in varying shades of ink that are
   not those of the main text, text and gloss appear to have been
   copied during approximately the same time span.</p>

10.7.2.1 Writing

<handDesc hands="2">
 <p>The manuscript is written in two contemporary hands, otherwise
   unknown, but clearly those of practised scribes. Hand I writes
   ff. 1r-22v and hand II ff. 23 and 24. Some scholars, notably
   Verner Dahlerup and Hreinn Benediktsson, have argued for a third hand
   on f. 24, but the evidence for this is insubstantial.</p>
