To one side of the cloisters is a little museum which held a bunch of illustrated Bibles in glass cases. It's wonderful to see the writings before the invention of the printing press. As in the Bible where sages had to copy the Bible by hand, they counted the number of letters on each line and copied exactly. If it has the same number on each line, they were assured they left nothing out. How did we manage in the days before the printing press and more recently in the days before the computer. Today in the Pharmacy all claims are electronically transmitted and we work so much with technology that I cannot even fathom how to do without technology. It's not just using the key board, most of our equipment has touch screen capability. But it is still refreshing to see these illustrated books in its glory.
