The 'Originals' vs. Copies
Front
What is an 'autograph' in textual criticism?
Back
The original manuscript written by the biblical author (e.g., the exact scroll Paul sent to the Romans).
Explanation
While we do not possess the autographs, textual critics reconstruct them by comparing thousands of copies (apographs).
