Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Manuscript culture used writing as a means of preserving and disseminating knowledge. Scribes made copies of manuscripts. Scribes manually copied manuscripts because there was no printing press, making little corrections and typos as they went. The original script or document may be hard to find at times. As a result, the scribes devised their method of fact interpretation. As a result, variations between the copies created by various scribes were found. Each of them gave it their interpretation. False facts or information were also disseminated as a result of this. It was hard to distinguish which copy was the original because they were all handwritten. This was a severe drawback of such copying.
