Divers hands
Divers hands (or more rarely dyvers hands), is an archaic phrase used to refer to a project that has been contributed to by many people. ''Divers'' is a word of Latin origin (''diversus'') that is still commonly used in modern French language; it literally means "many and varied". This usage of the word ''Divers'' can be found in the Bible and other older texts, but it is not commonly used in modern English. The phrase is still used to refer to the authorship of plays, essay collections, and short story collections by multiple authors.
== Divers hands in the past ==
The oldest usage of the term to date online is William Strachey (A True Reportory of the Wrack ) (1610) "Fowl there is great store, small birds, sparrows fat and plump like a bunting, bigger than ours, robins of divers colors green and yellow, ordinary and familiar in our cabins, and, other of less sort;"
There does not appear to be the use of 'divers hands' in the English bible itself, but often in scholarly works about the bible. There are several uses of the word 'divers', however. For example, in the King James version of the Bible, "And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of ''divers colours'' that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying."
The very rare alternative spelling 'dyvers hands' was historically used, for instance in the (parish records ) of St John in Bedwardine, Worcestershire, England "that 'thro' dyvers hands it came to Mr. Thomas Hall of Henwyke, the father of John Hall."
