  Scriptorium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before the invention of printing by moveable type, a scriptorium (plural scriptoria) was a normal adjunct to a library, which after the active destruction of classical libraries in the wake of the Theodosian decrees of the 390s and the collapse of public institutions in general, were entirely in Christian hands from the early 5th century.
The monastery built in the second quarter of the 6th century under the eye of Cassiodorus at Vivarium in southern Italy, contained a purpose-built scriptorium, with self-feeding oil lamps, and a sundial and a water-clock.
In the monasteries, the scriptorium was a room, rarely a building, set apart for the professional copying of manuscripts.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Scriptorium
A scriptorium is commonly a large room set apart in a monastery for the use of the scribes or copyists of the community.
The rules of the scriptorium varied in different monasteries, but artificial light was forbidden for fear of injury to the manuscripts, and silence was always enforced.
Very often the scriptorium of a monastery developed some peculiarities of writing which were perpetuated for considerable periods, and are of great value in ascertaining the source from which a manuscript comes.

 Robling: Monastic Scriptoria. 3/9
In the cloister the general location of the scriptorium was the north cloister walk, facing the inner quadrangle.
With this cloister walk in mind, it is easy to understand that a scriptorium located here would of necessity be a poor apartment, and consequently a source for the many common complaints of the scribes.
When the scriptorium and the library formed an apartment, the latter influenced the former's location.

 Digital Scriptorium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-08)
The Digital Scriptorium is an image database of medieval and renaissance manuscripts, intended to unite scattered resources from many institutions into an international tool for teaching and scholarly research.
Medieval and renaissance manuscripts lie at the core of the work of scholars in a great number of fields: medievalists from many disciplines, classicists for the transmission of classical texts, art historians, musicologists, codicologists, paleographers, diplomatists, to begin to name the categories.
The Digital Scriptorium looks to the needs of this very diverse community, and to the limited resources of libraries; it bridges the gap by means of extensive rather than intensive cataloguing, often based on legacy data, and sample imaging.

He has tended to be concerned more with historical reconstruction and the interpretation of the various (mostly non-biblical) fragments, not with TEXTUAL work as such.
