Preparation Steps
The paper material in composite manuscripts like Ar. 561 consists of multiple distinct text blocks (more than ten in one instance) gathered by monks (p. 350, n. 15). Before the seventeenth century, these manuscripts were stored in different chapels, cells, or rooms rather than a central library (p. 344).

Evidence
"It [the manuscript] belongs to the monk Abba Paisios who gathered the leaves which were scattered and bound them"
Remarks
Local manuscript production and the repair of older manuscripts were continuous practices at St Catherine's since at least the eighth century (p. 340). Binding workshops like the 'Klimis workshop' or Group 31 often dealt with rebindings of manuscripts dating back to the ninth century (p. 351, 352).
