An amanuensis is someone who copies or takes dictation in writing a manuscript for another, ie., a secretary.

The only debate I referenced is over the Pauline authorship of Hebrews, which is not the focus of my inquiry, but rather the subject of amanuensis as it relates to Pauline epistles, and where do the attributions found in some Bibles originate.
