Scriptorium, Fontenay Abbey, Cote d'Or, France
Scriptorium or Monks' hall, Fontenay Abbey, Marmagne, Cote d'Or, France. This Cistercian abbey was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1119, built in the Romanesque style. The abbey itself housed 300 monks from 1200, but was sacked during the French Revolution. The Monks' hall is 30m long with 12 ribbed vaults and was used primarily by the abbots. One section was reserved for the copyist monks, who copied and illuminated manuscripts. Picture by Manuel Cohen
