Johannes Trithemius(1)
Abbotus of Spondheim Abbey
De Laude Scriptorum -`In Praise of Scribes' 1492
Praises why scratching ink on vellum by quill/point, is, among many other things, the better input device over this new Gutenberg press invention(~1436), improving both the entirety of the scrivener, as well as all of civilization.
