Show Answers

the Anglo-Saxon invasions that started in the mid-15th century.the Peasants' Revolt that occurred in 1381.the Dissolution of the Monasteries carried out in the 1530s.the decline in respect for handwritten books following the introduction of printing in 1476.none of the above.

Explanation

Many medieval books were destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, when religious houses were closed and their libraries dispersed or ruined. Other events like the Peasants' Revolt or the start of printing affected manuscripts less significantly, and the Anglo-Saxon invasions did not occur in the 15th century.
