copyist
A copyist is a person who specializes in making copies or duplicates of original documents, pieces of art or music sheets, typically by hand. This role was particularly significant before the invention of printing technology when all duplications had to be done manually. In a modern context, it can also refer to a person who just imitates or replicates the work of others.
