What is a Manuscript
A manuscript is a handwritten or typewritten document. The documents that were made before the introduction of the printing press can be categorized as manuscripts. A manuscript can be a book or scroll. It can also have different information; the content of a manuscript can be about religion, science, geography, law, etc.
In the past, manuscripts were produced on papyrus, vellum, and other parchments. However, it was not easy to preserve those documents as paper does not have a very long life. For example, papyrus, which was commonly used for many manuscripts only had a life of few centuries. Adverse weather conditions, storage, damage from insects, etc.posed a problem for the preservation of manuscripts.
