A scriptorium is commonly a large room set apart in a monastery for the use of the scribes or copyists of the community.When no special room was devoted to this purpose, separate little cells or studies called carrels were usually made in the cloister, each scribe having a window and desk to himself.he rules of the scriptorium varied in different monasteries, but artificial light was forbidden for fear of injury to the manuscripts, and silence was always enforced. As a general rule those of the monks who possessed skill as writers made this their chief, if not their sole active work.
Another quadrilateral that you might see is called a rhombus. All four sides of a rhombus are congruent. Its properties include that each pair of opposite sides is parallel, also making it a parallelogram. In summary, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
Types of Quadrilaterals--Parallelograms. If a quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel opposite sides, then it is called a parallelogram. Parallel sides in a parallelogram are also congruent in length. In addition, because opposite sides are parallel, opposite angles are congruent as well.An example of a parallelogram, with congruent parts identified, is shown below. As with the trapezoid, we can derive a formula for the area of a parallelogram by dividing it into a rectangle and two triangles.n addition, because opposite sides are parallel, opposite angles are congruent as well.
