How do we know that the works of ancient authors are genuine? Taylor explains how texts were written and on what materials, how copyists and the great copying centres preserved them, how quotations date a work and how the revival of learning in the fourteenth century rescued it. He then lays out the methods of historical proof, applying them finally to the Scriptures.
