DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MANUSCRIPTS AND INSCRIPTIONS ?
Manuscripts are the books written long ago.These were written by hand on palm leaf or on specially prepared bark of tree known as birch.
They are preserved in temples and monastries and deal with all kinds of subjects- religious beliefs and practices.Besides there are epics,poems and plays.Many of these are written in sanskrit,prakrit and tamil.
Inscriptions are writings on relatively hard surfaces such as stone or metal.There are other kinds of inscriptions as well where men and women recorded what they did.
