Geldner on the influence of ritual practice in the manuscripts
Geldner (1886, 1. xlvii) The copyists knew the majority of their text by heart. The oral text, however, had become more corrupted than the written text and keeps constantly crossing the latter. Scribes who read and copied word for word from the text before them, ran less danger than those scribes who grasped the entire sentence and wrote it off before looking at the copy before them.
