Abstract

No doubt the idolatry of subject matter originated in those centuries v,hen there was no effective means for the dissemination of knowledge. The multitude could not possibly have access to the intellectual resources. These were stored up, in manuscripts. Of these there were at best a few; and it required long and toilsome preparation to be able to do anything with them. A high priesthood of learning, which guarded the treasury of truth and which doled it out to the masses under severe restrictions was the inevitable expression of these conditions.
