Preservation: Charlemagne gave many of his scholars the job of copying all the old manuscripts into Latin by hand. This preserved much knowledge. 

All books in the middle ages were written by hand. All books were written to glorify religion. Each page was beautifully designed. Some pages were "illuminated" with a cover of gold. These books are known as illuminated manuscripts. 

The art of illuminating manuscripts continued for many hundreds of years.
