Scriptorium Biblicum

Scriptorium,was the area in some monasteries where, for centuries, the monks copied the books from the past, and composed the books of the present times. The scriptorium Biblicum et Orientale of Montserrat is the place dedicated to the study of the Holy Scriptures, to the research of history and culture of Middle East and to the compilation of archaeological objects from Mesopotamia, Egypt and Palestine , and housed in the museum.It is the place where various volumes of the Bible of Montserrat's edition have been issued, the place where many biblical works have been concluded and published by the monks, and where of Father Bonaventura Ubach - the patriarch monk of biblical studies in Montserrat - has been written.

Besides the strictly biblical research, ancient manuscripts of the Roca-Puig legacy are being studied at the Scriptorium, as well as ancient books in Hebrew and Arabic contained in the library.

The Scriptorium is the ideal space for study and for the preparation of cultural activities, especially historical or humanist subjects.
