The books were made by monks in monasteries, indicating a religious topic. The books contained hand-drawn pictures, suggesting that they focused on subjects that could be depicted visually. Additionally, since the books were written in Latin, they likely discussed topics of interest to Romans. Lastly, the fact that scribes hand-copied each book implies that the content would likely be concise and able to be explained briefly. Thus, the books were related to the process of their creation in terms of religious topics, visual elements, linguistic choice, and concise content.
