In this image from f323 the poet Reinmar dictates to a notary who records the poems on wax tabelts. A woman sits opposite the notary writing down the text on a roll draped across her lap—a depiction of writing in the medieval roll manuscript format, of which very few examples have survived. The image is also a record of the use of wax tablets at this relatively early date.
