title: Fakes and Forgeries of Written Artefacts: An Introduction
abstract: also includes types of fakes. Freeman 2014 and Havens 2014 are concerned with the Bibliotheca Fictiva, which is a collection of literary forgeries from 400 BCE to the present day. According to Havens (2014, 27), manuscript forgeries are 'physical "autograph" specimens that represent the perennial effort of forgers to establish alternative truths in unique written forms ostensibly recorded for the ages by the great figures of literature and history'.
