Big deal. Hand copied and hand written.
So it’s a little slower but not impossible.
It’s plenty feasible that a lot of things were written down.
But I know that doesn’t fit with Catholic agenda for trying to justify keeping Scripture out of the hands of the laity.
Big deal you say....can you imaging hand writing the Sunday edition of the New York Times???
Of course most important things were written down, but not very many people could get a hold of them and if they could THEY COULDN'T read them....Libraries were full of documents and manuscripts...but you didn't drop in, present your library card and check them out....didn't happen.
