Books were usually chained to the shelves
Time: 10th Century
Place: Europe
Details: In the Early Middle Ages, monastery libraries developed, such as the important one at the Abbey of Montecassino in Italy. Books were usually chained to the shelves, reflecting the fact that manuscripts, which were created via the labour-intensive process of hand copying, were valuable possessions.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
