The word forgery says a lot.
What should a medieval counterfeit contain ? What would that be ? Only the text could be a fake.
Everything else would be just a compilation of other books. But exactly these are the most books from this time. I haven't seen many where you can say that is the first who wrote it, and therefore an original. All draw wheels, but who invented it? Are all wheels of today forgeries of yesterday ?
The professor moves on thin ice.
