Question

Why could not manuscript satisfy the increasing demand of books in Europe during 14th century(1 marks)

Answer 1

What are the reasons for the significant increase in manuscripts being produced during the later medieval era? Was it due to improving financial conditions, or were there technological advances that simplified production techniques?


I find either potential explanation not to hold much water as these increase can be witnessed even in the midst of the Black Death, or the many disasters that befell European society during the 13th century. Also manuscript production is a process that seems predicated on extensive manual labour rather than technology.

Answer 2

becoz The production of hand written manuscript could not satisfy the ever increasig demand for books.

Manuscripts were fragil , difficult to handel and could not be carried around or read easily.
