I came across this:
In the famous Lebhor na Huidre, or Book of the Dun Cow, the Irish scribe twice scribbled, Probatio pennae Maelmuiri (a trial of the pen of Maelmuiri). These two brief notes probably reflect Maelmuiri’s attempts to test a newly cut pen to make sure it worked and the ink flowed properly. The shape and condition of the pen contributed to the scribe’s ability to write quickly and easily, so its importance cannot be overlooked.
