og11-123

Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancient Roman medical treatise, is undated but contains clues to when it was produced. Its first 80 pages are by a single copyist, but the remainting 20 pages are by three different copyist, which indicates some significant disruption. Since a letter in handwriting identified as that of the fourth copyist. mentions a plague that killed many people in Florence in 1148, Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year.

Which of the folloing, if true, most strongly supports the hypothsis that Codex Berinensis was produced in 1148?

(A)Other than Codex Berinensis, there are no known samples of the handwriting of the first three copyist.

(B)According to the account by the fourth copyist, the plague went on for 10 months.

(C)A scribe would be able to copy a page of text the size and style of Codex Berinensis in a day.

(D)There was only one outbreak of plague in Florence in the 1100's.

(E)The number of pages of Codex Berinensis produced by a single scribe becomes smaller with each successive change of copyist.

看了OG解释也不太明白, 下面是解释,希望NNs帮忙解释一下, thx

The fact that the last 20 pages are the work of a succession of three different copyist is an indication of serious turmoil at the time the copying was done.

Since a letter in the fourth copyist's handwriting reveals that a plauge killed many people there in 1148,Codex Berinenis was probably produced in that year.
