CHAPTER Y IRAN SCR I PTI 0)1 Occasionally the difficulties encountered in reading a document necessitate its transcription before an attempt can "be made to translate it. Moreover, in order to prolong the life of fragile docioments or those that are in great demand, it is often necessary to make transcriptions. Whatever the purpose of the transcription may "be, any copy of a document should "be so faithful and reliable that the reader will not "be compelled to refer to the original in order to verify its content. Consequently, the transcri"ber should bear in mind the fact that transcription of a document does not imply the right to edit it.^ It must be borne in mind that the forms employed in recording Spanish historical documents were not an innovation created by the author overnight or introduced on the spur of the moment. They were the product of gradiial but constant experimentation by writers throughout the centuries. Because of the scarcity of suitable writing materials, records had to be concise; since they served as the final authority in legal matters, they had to be accurate; at the same time, they had to be conveniently arranged for easy reference. The results of such experience were gathered and taught in a few places of learning to a limited number of scribes, who went out to record the vast quantities of doc^uments which are now resting in archives and awaiting the searcher or translator of today. It is evident that each form was employed by the scribe to answer a definite purpose. If he used abbreviations, they quite frequently occured at the end of a line where the space was too lim- The discussion of the various pro'blems of transcription and the rules set down at the end of this chapter are the result of the study of certain rules for transcription set forth in various typed and printed manuals. Special attention was given to rules discussed in: (l) Copying Manuscripts, (pamphlet) Minnesota Historical Society, 1935; H.G.T. Christopher, Paleography and Archives Chapter III: "Transcription of Manuscripts," Grafton & Co., London, 1938; and several sets of typed rules used in the Archives Collections, The University of Texas. -109-
