Answer:

Difficulties faced by Historians...

Explanation:

There was no printing press in those days so scribes

copied manuscripts by hand. If you have ever copied a

friend’s homework you would know that this is not a

simple exercise. Sometimes you cannot read your

friend’s handwriting and are forced to guess what is

written. As a result there are small but significant

differences in your copy of your friend’s work.

Manuscript copying is somewhat similar. As scribes

copied manuscripts, they also introduced small changes

– a word here, a sentence there. These small differences

grew over centuries of copying until manuscripts of the same text became substantially different from one

another. This is a serious problem because we rarely

find the original manuscript of the author today. We

are totally dependent upon the copies made by later

scribes. As a result historians have to read different

manuscript versions of the same text to guess what the

author had originally written.
