Question
What are the difficulties historians face in using manuscripts?
Short Note
Solution
While using manuscripts, historians face a number of difficulties. Manuscripts were written with hand and as a result, there were small but significant differences between any two copies. The scribes who copied them introduced changes. As a result, historians have to read different manuscript versions of the same text to guess what the authors had originally written.
