In the medieval period, scribes were typically young adults, often starting their training in their teens, around 14 to 16 years old. Many scribes were educated in monastic or cathedral schools, where they learned to read and write Latin and became skilled in calligraphy and manuscript production. Some scribes continued in this profession into their 30s or even later, depending on their specific roles and the demand for their skills.
