figures depicted in a circa 1230 manuscript from a moralized bible, part
of the Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts Collection of the Pierpont
Morgan Library, New York, N.Y.
The full folio (143/4 x 101/4 inches)

Dictating to a Scribe." Medieval scribes and their manuscripts are the
focus of research by University of Maine Professor of English Linne
Mooney.
