This great image of a learned man being busy in a scholarly setting was printed in Augsburg 1540. The man depicted is Albertus Magnus, who lived in the 13th century, so this 16th century image is a later imagination of a scholarly working setting.
The quill using and multitasking writing man, also called Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, bishop, and some more. #bookhistory

And another example. Same book, same scanning process, only a few pages away from each other:
unnoticed 3 fingers in gloves (left)
noticed 1 finger and pixelized it badly (right).
