👉 The scholar weapon, also known as the "pocket book" or "book," is a small, portable writing instrument that served as an essential tool for scholars and intellectuals during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Typically made of wood or bone with a leather strap, it housed a leather-bound book with a quill pen and inkwell, allowing users to jot down notes, draft letters, or compose texts while on the go. This compact device was crucial for preserving and disseminating knowledge, as it enabled scholars to carry their work efficiently and maintain continuity in their studies and correspondence.
