10th century manuscripts

10th-century manuscripts are handwritten documents created during the 900s, often on materials like parchment or vellum. They include religious texts, literary works, and historical records, showcasing the artistry and scholarship of their time. These manuscripts were produced in monasteries or early scriptoria by scribes, often decorated with illuminations and elaborate lettering. They provide valuable insights into medieval culture, language, and religion, serving as essential sources for understanding history before the invention of printing. Because they are rare and delicate, many have survived centuries, offering a window into medieval intellectual and artistic life.
