Scribes

Explanation:

Manuscripts Were Copied By Scribes

Answer 2

Scribes copied manuscripts.

Scribes were the people who acted as copyists at a time when printing presses were not in existence. They used to do the job of writing and copying the manuscripts.

It was done with such professionalism that sometimes it became difficult to recognize the original ones. It was next to impossible to differentiate between the both.

In the old days, around 700-1750, when there was no press, the manuscripts were copied down by the Scribes. They were written by hand. The monks used to work as scribes.

This created a job for many people as they could earn by copying the manuscripts. This began with the trade of these scripts and was also being regulated by the universities.
