Step 1
1 of 2The medieval period of western Europe was characterized by the slow rate at which information could be recorded and spread between places and people. Written knowledge needed to be recorded in manuscripts for effective preservation, with the majority of scribes being taught from an early age to copy and transcribe, which was by nature an expensive and time-intensive process.
Furthermore, most information was tightly controlled by organizations such as European nobility and the Roman Catholic Church, which held a monopoly on copywriting techniques for centuries in order to selectively choose what information was passed down.
