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 remaining 20 pages are by three different copyists, 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.<\/p>\n

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis that Codex Berinensis was produced in 1148?<\/p>\n

(A) Other than Codex Berinensis, there are no known samples of the handwriting of the first three copyists.<\/p>\n

(B) According to the account by the fourth copyist, the plague went on for 10 months.<\/p>\n

(C) A scribe would be able to copy a page of text the size and style of Codex Berinensis in a day.<\/p>\n

(D) There was only one outbreak of plague in Florence in the 1100s.<\/p>\n

(E) The number of pages of Codex Berinensis produced by a single scribe becomes smaller with each successive change of copyist.<\/p>\n
