    The medieval period began with the collapse of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. During this time, books and literature were produced through labor intensive methods like hand copying by monks. Spelling and grammar were inconsistent until the printing press was invented in 1410. Common themes in medieval literature included sermons, lives of saints, courtly love stories, and oral traditions from religious texts. Books were valuable and chained in libraries to prevent theft.

    INTRODUCTION
    The term "medieval"
    (originally
    spelled mediaeval) comes
    from Latin, meaning "middle
    age.".
    When Were the Middle Ages?

    Most scholars associate the beginning of the


    medieval period with the collapse of the
    Roman empire, which occurred in 476.
    Books in the Medieval Period

    Spelling and grammar were inconsistent in these


    early writings, which can make them hard to read; it
    wasn't until the invention of the printing press in
    1410 that spelling began to be standardized.
    Literature in the Medieval Period
     Much of the early literature of this period
    consists of sermons, prayers, lives of saints,
    and homilies.

     Another common theme in medieval


    literature is courtly love.
    Books in the Medieval Period

    Books (and the parchment itself) were often made


    by monks, and it was a time- and labor-intensive
    process.
    The oral traditions are the story of:
     “Noah” the great flood
     “Cain and Abel”
     “Adam and Eve”
     “Tower of Babel”
    -To avoid theft, the books were chained to the
    libraries during the medieval period.
    - Written literary works started with the
    monks’ lesson books for the young people
    during the old English period.
    -Bishop of Sherbome and Aldhelm (640-700
    A.D) had also written books for children.
    -William Caxton (1476) created the first printer and
    published the fables of Aesop, the Legend of
    King Arthur and his Knights, the song of Roland
    an old French epic, the heroism of El Cid, the
    valor Beowulf from the Norse.
