Detailed Solution

Manuscripts in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and other vernacular languages have a long and rich history in India. On palm leaves or handmade paper, manuscripts were penned or copied. The scribes beautifully illustrated pages. They would be pressed between hardwood covers or stitched together to preserve them. Manuscripts were created until the late nineteenth century, long after print was invented. However, manuscripts were both costly and fragile.
