The Scribes of the London Charterhouse

The Scribes of the London Charterhouse refers to a group of monks from the Carthusian order who lived at the Charterhouse, a former monastery in London. Founded in the 14th century, it was known for its secluded lifestyle and commitment to writing and scholarship.
