Monks studied Latin, with a few also learning Greek and Arabic; the majority of books available to them were in Latin, but a few in other languages found their way into monastic libraries. In an age before printing, all books had to be copied out by hand if additional copies were needed, so monasteries were always borrowing books from each other.
Books included many religious works, interpreting The Bible stories or giving explanations of the parables and life of Jesus; other books were devoted to the lives of Saints and early Christian martyrs, who were seen as examples of how Christians should live their own lives; some texts were medical and gave treatments for various ailments and the uses of herbs; some books were devoted to Church (Canon) Law; others were about mathematics and the sciences as they were understood at that time; there were history books, books on logic and philosophy and the writings of classical authors such as Cicero and Ovid.
