Preparation Steps
The text describes a divided labor process in Parisian scriptoria where 'rubricators' were responsible for adding specific text elements in red ink, separate from the primary scribal work (p. 77). Figures 3 and 4 show this application in a Bible from the Cathedral Schools of Twelfth-Century France (p. 68-69).

Evidence
"the process of producing one single manuscript could be divided between up to a dozen scribes, rubricators and illuminators."
Remarks
Rubrication is essential for the structure of university manuscripts, distinguishing glosses and section headers. The study highlights that in Paris, the production involved specialized members of the local court or king's stationarii (p. 77).
