Detailed Solution

Manuscripts are handwritten records of the past in the form of books.
Learning about the past can be done in a variety of ways. Start by looking for and reading ancient literature. Because they were manually written, these are referred to as manuscripts (the word "manu" from Latin for "hand"). Before being printed, all written works, including books, began as manuscripts. Writing on palm leaves has been a tradition in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent since the fifth century BCE. The content of a manuscript, which could include words along with maths, drawings, maps, or music notation, is not always what distinguishes it. Some of the most popular reading categories were the Bible, religious commentary, philosophy, law, and government texts.
