During the 13th century, the Lavra library numbered around 1,000 manuscripts. During this period, it also inherited the collection of Latin manuscripts belonging to the Amalfitans, after the destruction of their monastery.

an Italian city (near Naples), led an excellent trade with the East and had its factories in several places. The settlement of the Amalfitans on Athona, on the eastern slope of the mountain, may be
also considered a kind of factory of theirs, which, however, had to have
form of a monastery. This monastery was founded in the 10th century before the arrival
of Athanasius; it was dedicated to the Mother of God and always had dimensions

which the monastery could not sustain for a long time. The monks of Amalfi were
probably intermediaries in the supply of various merchant goods to the Athonian monasteries, thereby enjoying considerable favors from individual
igumens, so that even the church schism of Michael Kerularius (from
1054) did not change much in their relation to the Athonian monasteries—

"As Dom Rousseau pointed out, the monks of the Holy Mountain have good reason since the demise of St Mary’s to be suspicious of the West: for example, the foundation of Propaganda, in 1636, of a school on Athos to educate the monks, and the attempts of the Jesuits in the 17th century to found a mission there to convert them! Other similar activities have not helped the relations between western and eastern monasticism. Consideration was given by the West to refounding a Benedictine monastery on Athos, but this idea was so displeasing to the monks of the Holy Mountain that in 1924 they incorporated a clause into the constitution by which they are governed, forbidding such a foundation."
