      Is any of his statement true?

      Nope. York had a solid monastic scriptorium by 800, but they mostly copied Christian texts. Additionally, Dr. Dickson subscribes to “the Dark Ages” trope, which was invented during the Enlightenment to make Enlight. thinkers seem even better. The Middle Ages were very vibrant!

      Isn't "copy" the operative word? It's my understanding that those people with the great handwriting were generally illiterate. Making exact representations of the little squiggles. Or am I wrong about that?

      The #palaeography experts would know more than me on that! Most monks and nuns were taught to read Latin though. In fact, since there weren’t schools, many nobles would send their children to live in a monastery/nunnery to learn to read and write until they became adults.

      If I remember my history seminars rightly, there wasn't a lot of writing in the vernacular around 800AD - that started to take off a few decades later. But do correct me if I'm wrong

      There was, in Old Irish. Old English too. Not much else in that part of the world though.

          Right, that's interesting, thank you. I must admit to knowing next to nothing about Old Irish, and I loosely associated Old English literature with Alfred later in the 800s but it must have been happening before him too
