Stoner" Subject: RE: [scribes]: Patron saints Saint Luke is generally refered to as the Patron Saint of illuminators as well as Painters. I don't have the reference in front of me, but I think that the one of the London Illuminators Guilds (or the only one) was dedicated to St. Luke in their Charter. In addition I believe that St. Margaret was also an illuminator/painter, but I can't remember exactly. Cystennin - -----Original Message----- From: Mark Calderwood [mailto:mark-c@acay.com.au] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 10:32 AM To: scribes@castle.org Subject: [scribes]: Patron saints Hi everyone, Seeing as most occupations in the Middle Ages had a patron saint or six, I was wondering if anyone knows of any patron saints for scribes and illuminators in period? There's St John for writers, and St Luke for painters, and of course our "patron devil" Tytyvillus, but is there a saint specifically for scribes?
