Best Answer

1st answer:

No.There weren't any "clerks". Things were grown or made by individuals and sold by them at the weekly market or to the clergy/manor.

2nd Answer:

Medieval clerks were not usually women, but some were.

A very interesting article called "Women in Medieval Guilds," by Nicky Saunders, has a list of jobs medieval women are recorded to have had, and clerk was one of them.

There are links below to that article and to a related question on the things medieval women did.

What is another word for a medieval clerk?

There really isn't one since there were no clerks in this time. People grew and sold what they grew or made. The items went to the manor or local market. __ There were clerks in the Medieval period. They did much the same job as today, checked material costs, wages, and kept accounts usually for nobility. For proof of this look no further than Chaucer's "Clerk's Tale" from the Canterbury Tales. Clerk was the common word used although I've seen the name clark used.
