They wouldn't have known a deponent verb if it came up and bit them on the bum. I have a theory that the popularization of "fio" as the verb for manufacture in such ascriptions has to do with its use on coins, but the evidence is only so-so. The bottom line is that you don't much see "fabrior" in workman's manufacture ascriptions in the middle ages. Hossein/Greg (who is also very pleased to talk about actual medieval stuff)
