| | History of Scriptoria |
 | | The director of the scriptorium, the armarius, gave necessary instructions, assigned tasks, distributed writing materials, and managed all writing, art work, and collating. |
 | | Their manuscripts, which included vitae of the saints, theological works, and liturgical books, were beautifully illuminated and bound. |
 | | They were dependent upon the scriptorium work and simple arts and crafts for their revenue, and they found a healthy market of commissions. |
