Ten Shillings became the 50 Pence coin at decimalisation. Depending on which part of "Tudor times" you refer to, the equivalent of 50 Pence may have been referred to as Ten Shillings, Ten Testoons, Half Pound and Half-Sovereign. Given the way the currency and coinage bounced around in those days, it could have been known by many other names, however briefly.
Monasteries during the Middle Ages (Dark Ages) provided repositories for the documents and artifacts from Roman and Greek civilization, as well as those of a religious nature. Many texts were copied by hand, or preserved as scrolls, or bound into volumes. In feudal times, monks and other orders provided educational services (notably to the children of rulers), and cared for travelers and the sick.
During the course of Western (and Christian) History, monasteries through the ages often established themselves as translation-centers -- of the Bible as well as of many other texts and writings. The primary aim was to preserve these valued works, since "books" in such times were not made of materials that would stand up well to the ravages of time.
