I prefer manuscripts copied by monks in scriptoria. Nothing that is a product of the infernal Gutenberg machines for me, thank you very much!

We are the heirs of the Old Proletariat, the Civil Rights Activists, the Allies, the Abolitionists, the Enlightenment, the Scriptoria, al-Andalus, Byzantium, Rome, Jerusalem, Babylon, Memphis, and Ur the First.

Death to ignorance, illiteracy, hunger, plagues, and suffering among mankind.

Apparently in monastic scriptoria there was a whole little production line of novices preparing pens, grinding pigments, scraping parchment, and keeping the scriptorium cat off the desks.

3. 6th-8th c.: Establishment of monastic communities and associated scriptoria on the continent by Irish and Northumbrian missionaries -> development of regional and local minuscules. Drivers: societal (image: Luxeuil script)

Strangely enough it looks to me much more like a scriptorium than a dormitory. I’ve seen embrasures like that in our #Normandy scriptoria (eg Beauport). Surely also, that much light would never have been necessary in a dormitory. Still, what would I know…?!
The monks dormitory #CleeveAbbey #Somerset

Pointed single lights, dating to the original C13 construction, each with its own window seat. Perhaps one window per monk #WindowsOnWednesday #DormitoryCleeveAbbey

Desde el siglo XIX se le ha venido atribuyendo también el rol de intentar distraer a los amanuenses en los scriptoria medievales para provocar sus errores, lo que proporcionaría una excusa fácil a los copistas (y más tarde a los impresores)

Very common in scriptoria around the Feast of the Annunciation

Hence the phrase "new year neume"

I've just been reading a couple of the articles. Finally people are attempting to understand Rashid ad-Din's plans and legacy as suggested by mss produced in his scriptoria.

It reads like 1980s quasi-parodic dystopia. "The young men of this era log in to their digital monasteries where they while away hours in their scriptoria producing endless permutations of insensate erotica for mutual consumption."

As scrolls unfurl like tender shoots, ink seeps into parchment, and knowledge takes root.

Monastic-style scriptoria should be supported by grants from the state. Socialized codices!

Perfect, thank you so much! Answers that refer to literature are the best, especially since of the three, I am only familiar with Gullicks' work (but on English scriptoria).

Is it possible to attribute Danish, or any Scandinavian, manuscripts to specific scriptoria on the basis of their hands? Or is this difficult?
