According to Naomi S. Baron, "in the medieval English scriptorium, punctuation was generally added not by scribes but by proofreaders, who were the most learned monks in the monastery. Sometimes the abbots themselves filled this role."
Does this historical fact provide a greater understanding of the cast of contemporary editors? Hmm.
