What is another word for scriveners?
Pronunciation: [skɹˈɪvənəz] (IPA) 
Scriveners, also known as scribes, copyists, amanuenses, or clerks, were professionals who specialized in writing documents by hand. In ancient times, before the invention of the printing press, scriveners played a crucial role in preserving important information and recording history. They were often employed by government officials, scholars, or religious institutions to transcribe legal documents, literary works, or sacred texts. The word scrivener is derived from the Latin word "scriba," meaning writer or scribe. Despite the technological advances that have rendered their occupation obsolete, the legacy of scriveners lives on in our language, as numerous idioms and expressions refer to the art of writing, such as "the pen is mightier than the sword" or "the devil is in the details".
