Again Cicero, who was very important to the Renaissance humanist movement, said:
"If you have a garden and a library then you having everything you need."
"Cultivation to the mind is like food to the body"
"To live is to think"
"Rightly defined philosophy is the love of wisdom"
"There are more men ennobled by study than by nature"
"Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth"
"Even if you have nothing to write, write and say so"
A monk tending his garden and writing his book could be doing so without the desire to sell it and promote it to the world. In fact such a person might want to keep it and its contents to themselves and therefore could have written it in such a way that others would not understand it.
