The scriptorium of the monastery was usually located over the chapter house. Artificial light was forbidden for fear it may damage the manuscripts. There were five types of scribes:
+ Calligraphers, who dealt in fine book production
+ Copyists, who dealt with basic production and correspondence
+ Correctors, who collated and compared a finished book with the manuscript from which it had been produced
