Daybonn, No, no. The monks were "illuminating" the Word of God. Those pictures and the process were called "Illumination." The copies of Scripture were jealously guarded...I expect (but don't actually know) that the monks would have allowed themselves to be gnawed upon rather than The Word.

Is that why the monks painted pictures on the borders of the pages of books? Did the chemicals in the paint on borders act as a repellant to rodents? Is that actually why they spent so much time painting the borders?
