Encyclopedia: Scrivener

A scrivener (or scribe) was traditionally a person who could read and write. This usually indicated secretarial and administrative duties such as dictation and keeping business, judicial, and history records for kings, nobility, temples, and cities. Scriveners later developed into public servants, accountants, lawyers and petition writers, etc.
