Old English Libraries: The Making, Collecting and Use of Books in the Middle Ages is a study that examines the development of librarianship in the Middle Ages and the role of books in the life and culture of the time. The book's author, Ernest Albert Savage, carefully examines the various aspects of book creation and preservation in monasteries, universities, and private antiquities collections.
The book draws attention to the technologies and processes of book production in the Middle Ages, the importance of manuscripts as carriers of knowledge and cultural heritage, and the ways of accessing book collections in those ancient times. Readers will be able to better understand how the people of the Interworld period studied, kept and used the books that formed the basis of world culture and science. "Old English Libraries" reveal to us the fascinating world of book culture, where words and knowledge occupied a central place in the daily life of people in the Middle Ages.
