window across the courtyard Only the very wealthy have books - written on vellum or parchment; specially prepared skins. Illuminated manuscripts decorated with exquisite miniature pictures in vivid coloured inks.
Only large monasteries and other religious houses have actual libraries; most books are produced in the scriptorium, copied painstakingly by the monks.
