The earth would groan with rank and excessive vegetationand its
surface become a tangled wilderness. In like manner the works of

Works had to be transcribed by handwhich was a slow and laborious
operation; they were written either on parchmentwhich was expensive

papyruswhich was fragile and extremely perishable. Authorship was a
limited and unprofitable craftpursued chiefly by monks in the
leisure and solitude of their cloisters. The accuyilai：
