What is a scriptorium

Answers:
A medieval scriptorium was the room, or building, usually part of a church or monastery where books and documents were copied by hand before the invention of a printing press or movable typeset. Usually an orator would read the book to be copied aloud and multiple writers would copy it. It was in these scriptoria that the most beautiful illuminated books were produced during the medieval period.
