How long did it take medieval monks and scholars to write books

Depends on what job. Different parts of the process (preparing the velllum, inking the text, penciling in the artwork, illuminating the artwork) could be done by different monks with their own specialties, especially in the later Middle Ages when scriptoria were more like book-producing factories (never mind the Renaissance, when hand-written textbooks were churned out en masse by monks and scriveners).

If you're just talking about the text, well, again, depends on whether it's a de luxe manuscript being written in a very slow and careful hand (artifical unical, irish majuscule, textura quadrata) or a work-a-day cursive (half uncial, most national hands, bastard or secretary scripts), or something in between (carolingian, bâtarde, rotunda). Be specific about what you mean.
