184.Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancient Roman medical treatise, is undated but contains clues to when it was produced. Its first eighty pages are by a single copyist, but the remaining twenty pages are by three different copyists, which indicate 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 following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis that codex Berinensis was produced in

1148?

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

(B) According to the account by the fourth copyists, the plague went on for ten 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 Berinnesis produced by a single scribe becomes smaller

我觉得没有答案支持呢，怎么回事。答案d从哪个方面看出支持结论来了？我觉得是无关信息。发生一次并不代表发生在那一年呀？

我改了一下，以免误导大家

你问的奇怪，我记得有讨论过的，可是回去找也没找到。说说我记得的吧：Codex Berinensis有四个抄写者说

明中间有间断，这个间断必有原因。现在知道第四个抄写者的亲笔信里有提过1148年的大瘟疫杀死很多人。那前边

三个是不是都已经死于提到的这次瘟疫呢？不好确定，但是如果有佐证说1100-1199年间只有一次瘟疫大爆发，言下

之意就是只有1148年这次了。那么可以在很大程度上预测在1148年里前边三个都在工作岗位上牺牲了，第四个抄写

者接手抄写工作（完成）了Codex Berinensis。

谢谢！

我总结了一下；

题目先告诉1.书的年代未确定 2.有线索：中间有中断

然后给了一个推断前提：第四个抄写者的一封信提到：1.1148年的瘟疫 2.死了很多人

因为它解释了题目先给的两个问题。

所以给出结论：书发行在1148年。

所以我们要支持的部分只有是信的部分。

这道题从简单的角度看没多复杂，不然就麻烦了。

不过你的意思是你已回归OG了，是吧？P.S. 我的尾巴是625，原来办公室的号码，不

是265，265大约是仓库哎。
