Jewish scribes, then and now, write marriage contracts and divorce decrees, inserts for tefillin and mezuzot, and copies of holy texts on commission. (Tefillin and mezuzot are both cases holding small parchment scrolls with biblical text on them. Tefillin are worn on the arm and forehead, meuzot are attached to the doorposts of houses. We have archaeological and literary evidence that the practice then was not very different from the practice among observant Jews today.) In addition, Jewish scribes of 2000 years ago may have written letters, contracts and deeds for those who could not write them without help. With no printing presses or photocopy machines back then, if you wanted a copy of something, you had to copy it out yourself or pay someone to make the copy.
