During the Middle Ages, monasteries were key institutions that preserved knowledge and culture. Monks meticulously copied and maintained ancient texts, including religious manuscripts and classical works, safeguarding them from destruction. Additionally, these monastic communities served as centers of education and learning, contributing to the preservation of literacy and scholarship during a time often referred to as the "Dark Ages." This preservation laid the groundwork for the Renaissance and the revival of classical knowledge.
It was important for the Medieval people of the Middle Ages to preserve food in the summer to be eaten during during the winter months. Foods which could not be preserved were only eaten when they were in season. It was not economic to keep and feed animals during the winter so animals were slaughtered in the autumn. The meat during the Middle Ages was preserved in salt. Some historians believe that pepper was also used in food preservation during the Middle Ages, however pepper was even more expensive than salt that its use for such a purpose must have been extremely limited.
During the Middle Ages the monks were the people who preserved books and wrote books. The population of the Middle Ages couldn't read or write and there were really no schools for them to go to. Monks spent years creating and copying books. One of the great books that was done in this time was the Book of Kells.
That European institution is "The Church."
