Hand

A single person, described by Ó Cuív as a “careful scribe with a good clear hand”, was responsible for the manuscript. A colophon occurs on f. 94v, at the end of Trí bior-ghaoithe an bháis, revealing the name of the scribe, that of his patron, and the date of writing (1681).

‘Ar na sgríobhadh do chum úsáide an Athar Ghiolla Padruig Mheic Murcadh, ⁊ gach aon léighfeas áon ní de tabhradh mile beandacht rém manmain ⁊ mar an céadna dhó úaimsi et me ar sgur dá sgríobhadh an .21. lá do mhí Februari an bhlíadhainsi daoís chriosd anno domini 1681. Meisi Conchubhar Mhágaodh.’

Another colophon with the name of the scribe occurs on f. 122v.
