Art/Literary - History / Middle Ages | | French term or phrase: ateliers de copie | Jusqu’au milieu du XIIIe siècle, l’art du livre médiéval est l’œuvre exclusive des religieux. La plupart des monastères comportent des ***ateliers de copie***.
I translated it as "copying workshops", but am not at all sure if it is the term to be used in this context. What is the best way to say it? |
| | | scriptoria | Explanation:
"Scriptorium" is the accurate term in this context.

'They' are not obliged to write "scriptorium" in French because another accepted term, "atelier de copie", is available in French. I'm not sure that another satisfactory term is available in English. |
