The scribe is a person who practices writing on behalf of others. He is generally employed in public offices, especially judicial ones, in charge of drafting or copying deeds and documents. Scribes in the present era, given the very high literacy rates, are almost non-existent. Before the diffusion of the press, the manuense or copyist, better known, was the professional figure of those who, by trade, copied manuscripts in the service of private individuals or in writing centers. The word amanuensis derives from the Latin servus a manu, which was the term with which the Romans defined the scribes. These monks lived many hours of the day in the scriptorium (a particular room present in some religious structures), in a position to capture as much light as possible, useful during the copying process of the ancient codices and those who did this work were allowed to skip a few canonical hours of prayer.
