Example: <handDesc> (description of hands)

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>
