Compilator

Compilator (Latin: "compiler") refers to a person who collected or compiled texts based on other sources. In medieval manuscripts, authors often included notes to indicate their roles, such as "Compilator libelli huius" (compiler of this book).
Context
The term highlights the collaborative and curatorial nature of authorship in the medieval period, where creating new content often meant compiling existing knowledge.
