Over 110,000 Medieval Manuscripts May Have Been Copied by Women - Medievalists.net

A new study reveals medieval women copied over 110,000 manuscripts—far more than once believed.

"While the percentage of manuscripts confirmed to be copied by women is small, the study underscores that the actual number was likely higher. Several factors suggest that female scribes may have been underrepresented in colophon data:

Women may have been less likely to sign their work, either due to personal choice or institutional norms.

Some female scribes may have written in margins or left anonymous contributions, which are not included in the dataset.

Manuscripts produced by female scribes may have been disproportionately lost over time due to historical events such as the dissolution of monasteries and the Reformation.

By applying manuscript survival rate estimates, the researchers calculated that the total number of manuscripts copied by women throughout the Middle Ages exceeded 110,000 (assuming that the recent estimate that more than 10 million hand-written manuscripts were produced in the Latin West during this period is accurate). Their findings suggest that there were likely many more female scribes and book-producing communities that remain unidentified in historical records."
