Summary

"History of the Transmission of Ancient Books to Modern Times" by Isaac Taylor is a journey through time, revealing how age-old writings have survived and been proven real. Taylor looks closely at how we can be sure that very old books, both historical stories and religious texts, are actually what they claim to be. The book starts by explaining that figuring out if an old book is real requires that we understand how these writings were passed down through the ages. Taylor focuses on what role history plays in proving the authenticity of texts, and also what contribution did people making copies have. Taylor writes in a way that's easy for everyone to understand, inviting readers to see how the books we read today have roots reaching far into the past.
