The database of medieval scribes of Tallinn mainly lists scribes who were in the service of the town council and their temporary deputies, starting from the intriduction of the oldest surviving town register (1312) until the second quarter of the 16th century. Selectively, it also includes clerics who left behind a more substantial written legacy. The database is based on sources from the Tallinn City Archives; for each scribe, the type of script primarily used, a reference to the archival source where this characteristic script appears, the scribe’s name, and years of service are provided.
