Paula Dei Mansi
Paula Dei Mansi (died after 1288) was a Jewish scribe. She may be the earliest female scribe whose name is known.
She was the daughter of Abraham Anau of Verona and belonged to a family of scribes. Her earliest known work was the translation of a manuscript of Bible comments from Hebrew to Italian. Dei Mansi's translation included her own explanations.
