Register or Login to view.It seems to me highly unlikely that any such hired writer would be permitted by the hirer to write the manuscript and to do it unsupervised, to mangle it and make errors. Really? The hirer did not bother to check the work as it being done? At no time did the hirer point out the errors? At no time did the hirer notice the bad drawings? At no time thought to tell him, "You are no good at this job. On your bike. I am getting someone else"?The scribe could justify himself to the author, saying, "I did this because of this and that." And maybe the author wasn't very critical. He didn't get angry if the scribe wrote a as a Latin a.
If you give someone else a note to rewrite, will you be angry if they don't rewrite it exactly as it was? If he writes a letter differently from the way you write it (as long as you can tell what the letter is)?
It's possible that the author liked the result and didn't punish the scribe.
