The only example I can think of are "readers and writers", from what I understand munks, who could read and write. I guess just technically being able to do that (disregarding the content/authorship) wasn't a really sought after trade when literacy among the common population rose.

Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again. Alternatively, questions of this type can be directed to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
