"It is this piety which forges the weapons of the faithful against heresies, scatters the proud, weakens demons and sets the norm of Christian living." (p.470 Trithemius)

“…printed books are often deficient in spelling and appearance. The simple reason is that copying by hand involves more diligence and industry.”

"The monk, through his dedication to copying, will gain four conspicuous benefits: his time, a most precious commodity, is productively put to use; his mind, while he writes, is illumined; his sentiments are enkindled to total surrender; and after this life he will be crowned with a special reward. (Trithemius, "In Praise of Scribes (De Laude Scriptorum)", Writing Material 473)"

"Nothing can draw the monk more closely to active perfection than giving himself, for love of neighbor, to the copying of divine scripture" (WM 472)

"Scribes, therefore, are the heralds of the divine will which they have handed down to us through the visible written word." (WM 472)
