How Ireland invented spaces between words

Early Irish Christianity and Its Artistic Impact

In early Irish Christianity, the monks held immense power and became scholars who advanced literacy and learning in a collapsing Europe. They preserved Irish mythology by writing down oral stories, introducing spaces between words in writing, adding a musicality to prose, and preserving distillation knowledge, leading to the invention of whiskey. This period marked the transition of writing from a data-collecting tool to an art form, laying the foundation for Irish literature and contributing to the world's literary legacy.
