Abstract
The essay continues my long-term quest to understand the involvement of high-status patrons in the actual writing of Hebrew manuscripts in medieval Aragon and its neighbouring polities. The signed scribe of BNF hebr. 7 is "unmasked" as an amateur scribe by means of the analysis of the errors he committed. This tabulation of errors leads to a reconsideration of the act of writing as a performance of piety.
