[Scriptoris] Writing Implement question

[Donna Hufford]

Greetings to those in the Scribal Community

I have found that Scribes have a broad and in depth knowledge of all things
writing wise so I thought I would pose my question to you.

I have been wondering if there was anything comparable to a pencil in
Medieval/Renaissance times. Did one always have to go for the quill and ink
or was there a stylus type implement for scribes and artists.
