A second scribe or reader checked the text against the exemplar, and the further
corrections were then made. Working in the library or, if fortunate, a special
scriptorium (writing office) with large windows of clear glass, a skilled scribe
could produce up to four sides of a page a day, depending on how complex the
work was. A Bible could take a team of monks many months to produce.
Once the text was finished, the scribe passed the pages to the artists for
illumination. When this was finished, the completed pages were folded and
arranged in the correct sequence for binding between boards covered with leather.
