Question

State difference between manuscript and printed material class 10 CBSE​

Answer 1

Answer:

Manuscripts were handwritten documents that were produced before the onset of printing. Manuscripts involved recording the information on either hard surface by engraving or on dried animal skin or tree leaves. Scribes copied the relevant information on manuscripts. The pages were either pressed or sewn together to preserve them. Manuscripts were expensive and fragile and incorporated artistic styles like calligraphy. Since it took a long time to produce a complete manuscript of a literary work, the pace of production was slow and not many people had access to it. This restricted the flow of information and ideas.

Print culture was defined by accelerated production of books and printed material. This led to mass production of books and their circulation increased. Common people began to have access to these books and came in contact with the ideas of leading thinkers of the time. Thus, it led to a stimulation of intellectual tradition.
