Monastery Definition
Monastery refers to the place of residence of people living under religious vows. Monasteries promoted learning and preserved ancient literature. The need for liturgical books was met by members of monasteries who illuminated the manuscripts. Thus, monasteries have extended patronage to art and members have contributed their creativity and innovation to artistic works.
