Sign in to savethumb|upright|''Portrait of the Scribe Mir 'Abd Allah Katib in the Company of a Youth Burnishing Paper'' (Mughal Empire, ca. 1602) A scribe is a person who serves as a professional copyist, especially one who made copies of manuscripts before the invention of automatic printing.
A scribe is a professional copyist who hand-wrote copies of manuscripts, serving an essential role in spreading written knowledge before printing machines were invented. Scribes were valued members of society who made literature, religious texts, and important documents available to people who couldn't own originals or couldn't read or write themselves.

Skrivare var under antiken ett yrke som omfattade skrivning, särskilt i samhällen med bristfällig läskunnighet. Skrivare ägnade sig framför allt åt bokföring och registrering. I medeltidens Europa togs skrivning till stor del över av munkar. En motsvarighet[källa behövs] i Norden var runristare. Tryckpressen gjorde att skrivarens uppdrag delvis ersattes av typografer. Senare har också och sekreterare haft liknande uppgifter, de senare vid sidan av annat arbete.
