Detailed Solution

Manuscripts are handwritten records of the past in the form of books. It was written on Palm leaves. The word "manu" from Latin for "hand". Before printing, all written works were manuscripts, including books. Since the fifth century BC, writing on palm leaves has been practised in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The content of a manuscript, which may include writing along with explanatory figures, calculations, maps, music notation, or drawings, does not necessarily define it.
