Major medieval scriptoriums operated at Haghpat, Sanahin, Saghmosavank, Tatev, Geghard, and Kecharis monasteries, where teams of monks copied, illustrated, and bound manuscripts in continuous production from the 10th through the 17th century โ€” making Armenia's monasteries the principal engines of the country's literary and intellectual scholarship for seven hundred years.
