English to afrikaans meaning of

scribe

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "skriba" is 'n persoon wat dokumente met die hand skryf of kopieer as 'n beroep of vir amptelike doeleindes. In die verlede was skrifgeleerdes dikwels in diens van godsdienstige instellings of regeringskantore om geskrewe rekords, soos manuskripte, regsdokumente en amptelike korrespondensie, op te stel. Die term kan ook verwys na iemand wat inligting opneem of neerskryf, soos 'n joernalis of kroniekskrywer. In moderne tye is die rol van die skriba grootliks vervang deur tegnologie, soos rekenaars en drukkers, alhoewel die term steeds in sommige kontekste gebruik kan word om te verwys na iemand wat soortgelyke take verrig, soos 'n kalligraaf of 'n kopieerder.
