Erant quinque scribae genera: Librariolus, qui productione basica et correspondentia functus est; Calligraphus, qui calligraphia et productione fina functus est; Corrector, qui paginas congestas cum libro originali composuit et correxit; Rubricator, qui litteras rubras pinxit; et Illuminator, qui picturas illuminantes pinxit.WikiMatrix WikiMatrix
