∙ 11y ago
The priests and other scholars of Ireland living in monasteries pre-Renaissance retained and hid away the only surviving written texts of the world's greatest written works (Greek, Roman, French, etc.). When the "air cleared" and times a'changed, they spent their days copying these texts and distributing them once again throughout Europe and, to a lesser degree, the rest of the world.

Is Tom an Irish name?
Tom is a short form of Thomas, which is a form of a Christian saint's name. The same spelling is used in French, German, and several other languages, but the spellling is different in other languages, too. In Irish, or Irish Gaelic, the spelling is Tomas. However, because Ireland is traditionally a Christian country and because English is so widely spoken there, many Irish boys are named Thomas. However, there is nothing particularly Irish about the name Tom or Thomas.
