In these discussions about the process(es) involved in composing & 
copying ancient texts, I rather have the feeling that we all need to 
acquire a better grasp of ancient realia involved.  Can I recommend 
that we all start by reading something like Harry Gamble's new book: 
_Books and Readers in the Early CHurch:  A History of Early Christian 
Texts_ (Yale Univ Press, 1995)?
