Shifting
Sands
by Richard Pett
T
he scent of burning oil lamps hangs in the air as scholars pore through
countless scrolls. In search of fragments of knowledge to support their
research, some scholars remain among the shelves of scrolls for weeks on
end. Though study is often a solitary task, at times these academics come together
to discuss complicated theories, share new discoveries, and simply relax their eyes
and backs between long bouts of reading ancient manuscripts. More than just the
original texts fill the scrolls; the margins hold notes and marks from hundreds of
sages who paged through these writings long before and recorded their thoughts.
This marginalia is at least as valuable to scholars as the records’
original text—and sometimes even more precious.
