A scriptorium is a room or area in a monastery devoted to the copying, writing, and illumination of manuscripts by hand. It typically had a central desk or lectern where the text was read aloud by a scholar or scribe, with other desks arranged around it for copying and illustrating the text. The scriptorium was an important and specialized area of the monastery, and the work done there was considered to be both a spiritual and vocational calling.
