Medieval manuscripts were crafted by skilled artisans using labor-intensive techniques and rare materials, making them both valuable and durable. These books often outlasted their owners, prompting readers to update or repurpose them instead of discarding them when newer versions emerged. This practice highlights the creative ways in which historical book owners engaged with their texts, preserving their value and relevance over time.
