<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>
