French salons, and collaborative work in more or less formalized academies, from the Accademia dei Lyncei to the Royal Society. 4 Other humanists are the most visible, but were not the only kinds of people with whom scholars worked.A spate of recent work on the early modern France has emphasized the interactions of authors with their printers for example. 5But the production of manuscripts through reading, note-taking, writing, and copying also often involved helpers, typically social or intellectual inferiors (e.g.due to age or gender), ranging from copyists to trusted amanuenses, paid in wages or in kind, or who contributed more or less voluntarily as students or as family members who stood to gain in personal experience and/or from the success of their professor or relative.Focusing on late humanist scholarship presents the distinct advantage that the working papers of scholars survive in greater numbers than they do for literary figures from the same period. 6
