Where did monks and nuns hand write the Bible?

Answer 1

Monks began copying books during the Dark Ages. During this time barbarians were sweeping over Europe destroying and pillaging everything in their paths, including libraries. At this time also people were too busy repairing the damage done by barbarians to study much. So the monks copied these books to preserve learning.

Answer 2

In medieval Europe, up to about the mid-13th century, monks and priests were almost the only people to receive an education because the only schools (and universities) were Church schools, intended to produce monks and priests. Being educated meant being able to read and write in Latin as well as studying rhetoric, mathematics, geometry, music, astronomy, medicine and law. Some also learned to write in other languages such as Norman French, Middle English, Greek and Hebrew, but Latin was by far the main written language.

All books were written by hand, by monks in monasteries. If you needed an extra copy of a book, it had to be copied from the original by hand - in the case of major books this could take three years or more.

After the mid-13th century more and more books were being written and copied by lay people outside the monasteries, since more people were becoming educated (many of them attending Church schools but leaving before they had to become a priest or monk). So by the time printing was introduced, books were being copied in huge numbers by scribes who were not monks.
