Subject: wants info on female scribes

Dear list members,

I recently cataloged a Christian Arabic manuscript (dated 1533/4) written by a female scribe, and this aroused my curiosity about females scribes in general. 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.

With best wishes and thanks in advance,
