I know a few studies that mention female scribes for Greek, Hebrew, and (east) Syriac manuscripts, but I would welcome any other references or examples especially from Arabic, Islamic or Christian.</div><div><br></div><div>With best wishes and thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>Adam McCollum, Ph.D.</div><div>Lead Cataloger, Eastern Christian Manuscripts</div><div>Hill Museum & Manuscript Library</div><div>Saint John's University</div><div>P.O.
