The difficulties faced by using Manuscripts was not an easy job copying them, and There were a lot of variations in the original and the copied manuscripts.
Using manuscripts presents various challenges for historians. During those times, there was no printing press. Thus scribes manually copied documents. Copying manuscripts is not a simple task. Scribes made little edits to manuscripts as they were copied—a word here, a phrase there. Over decades of copying, these minute variations increased to the point where manuscripts of the same text diverged significantly from one another. Given how infrequently we can now uncover the author's original text, this is a significant issue. We rely entirely on the copies that later scribes prepared. As a result, to determine what the author had originally intended to write, historians must read various manuscript copies of the same work.
