In the thirteenth-century, a manuscript was in circulation to address the conservation of manuscripts. The history of preservation has been documented along with the manuscripts themselves. Scrolls were used during the Middle Ages, but unfortunately, fewer survive and many of those are only fragments. The technique of enameling was introduced to Western Europe from Persia through Constantinople. Books with elaborate decoration were evidence of the skills brought back by Crusaders. However, some books include references to Jewish and Muslim beliefs along with records and documents. The early religious manuscripts were meticulously copied by monastic scribes for clergy and the elite. Numerous books, because of the cultural atmosphere during the time, contain Christian belief references. Many readers held an intimate relationship with their books, kissing and writing upon the pages. The format owes its rate of survival to the protective bindings and value regarded by the owner. Manuscripts were hand written and many contained elaborate decorated pages. Through a large number of medieval books that survive today, we can obtain insight into the cultural and historical context of the Middle Ages.
