Stiftsbibliothek, Admont Monastery Library, Austria
High in the Austrian Alps in western Steiermark, this Benedictine abbey was founded by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg in 1074. Through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries its monastic school was regarded as a universitas litterarum, and the excellence of its scriptorium is attested to by the fact that its collection of eleventh to fourteenth century manuscripts is the best of its kind in Austria.
