Monks of the middle ages copied books by had, and in this way produced manuscript copies. This was the only way books were published at the time, and it was nearly always done by monks. The book they copied most was The Bible, but they did other works as well, and most surviving medieval literature was copied by monks at one time or another.

What are the differences between nuns and monks in the medieval times and the ones now?
In England, modern monks and nuns follow a much less intense daily routine and very few celebrate the night Office as it was in the medieval period. Historically, monks and nuns got up from their beds at around midnight or 2 am for Matins and Lauds before returning to bed and rising again for Prime at around 6 am. Today monks and nuns enjoy much more sleep and are generally not expected to rise until early morning.Another change is that modern English Offices (church services) are in English, where historically services were entirely in Latin.Modern monks and nuns have access to the Internet and many monastic communities produce and sell a variety of commodities, from honey to ale and mead; the Internet is used to promote this commercial aspect of their work.Silent contemplation, prayer and periods of manual work still apply in most monasteries.In my own experience of meeting Benedictine monks in Holland and the USA, there is today almost no concept of humility and adhering to the precepts of the Rule of St Benedict; a medieval monk would be shocked and outraged at the aggressive, opinionated and selfish attitudes displayed by some of their modern brethren.
