Question

Differentiate manuscript and inscription

Answer 1

a book, document, or piece of music written by hand rather than typed or printed is called manuscript

A thing inscribed, as on a monument or in a book is called inscription

Answer 2

Answer:

Manuscripts were usually written on palm leaf, or on the specially prepared bark of a tree known as the birch, which grows in the Himalayas, while inscriptions were engraved either on a stone surface or on bricks or metals.

Inscriptions are the writings on stone, metal or some materials as an important historical source. These are valuable historical evidence of the existence and activities of early kings and empires. They also provide detailed religious practises.
