"Quaerite, Donatistae, si nescitis, quaerite ab Ierusalem per terrena itinera in circuitu usque in Illyricum quot mansiones sint: si tot Ecclesias computemus, dicite quemadmodum per Africanas contentiones perire potuerunt. Ad Corinthios, ad Ephesios, ad Philippenses, ad Thessalonicenses, ad Colossenses vos solas Apostoli epistulas in lectione, nos autem et epistulas in lectione ac fide et ipsas Ecclesias in communione retinemus.

"Joined by fanatics of all kinds and the dregs of society, the Donatists indulged in all sorts of excesses, avoided contact with Catholics, going so far as to wash the places where they had been in order to purify them, and roamed the countryside begging. “Genus hominum otiosum ab utilibus operibus... maxime in agris territans, ab agris vacans et victus sui causa villas circumiens rusticorum, unde et circumcellionum nomen accepit.” (Note of the Author) exorcising, inflicting horrible tortures on themselves, as we will see later that the holy men and marabouts of Islam did."

"For several decades, [...], Donatism was political opposition, religious rivalry, and a practical attitude, rather than a theoretical position and abstract system. The orthodox did not even have the desire or the means to refute it methodically. Political power opposed it for them, but they never tired of petulantly calling on it for help."

"If Donatism is in direct continuity with pre-Constantinian Christianity, it should not imagine that it represents the only church. The church of Christ has the promise of universality, while the Donatist church has not crossed the ethnic and territorial boundaries of Africa. Furthermore, after a heroic period of confessions and martyrdom, the Donatist church, especially during the period of the Moorish uprisings, came to contract the same disfiguring blemishes that it discovers in the official community."

"“I really write about what I want to achieve. It's just a goal because I'm okay, I don't want to change anything. My goal for 2014 is I want to study something. I want to learn something.

"It would be rather pointless and confusing to retain in these books information that was incorrect or defective or inaccurate. That is to say, books on science and mathematics would naturally be propagated accretively, with the addition of numerous anonymous updates, though no one maintained a revision history. Certainly Arab authors in Baghdad, for example, were actively disinterested in verbatim translations, but were interested rather more in useful paraphrases and creative reworking."

"Nevertheless, this laughable hypothesis is exactly what has been adopted with the 12th and 16th c. sources of “Greek” or “Hellenic” tradition." Hence, virtually all the knowledge prevalent in the 11th c. world, as known to Indians and Arabs, is attributed to Greeks like Aristotle, Archimedes, and Ptolemy. The fact is that the knowledge in these 11th c. texts accurately reflects the knowledge that then prevailed—as is naturally to be expected. However, Western historians explain this fact not by the simple and natural hypothesis of accretive up- dating of the texts, but by the extraordinary claim that all (or most of) the contemporary knowledge of the 11th c. world was derived by transmission from the Greeks, who had anticipated these developments. There is no other, or direct, evidence that these Greek authors wrote anything at all. Thus, by way of evidence, this extraordinary‘theory of transmission simply begs the question! To complete the story, it is thought enough to supplement it with a speculative chronology, attached to Greek names, based on stray remarks of doubtful authenticity in late texts. This sort of story-telling may be perfectly consonant with the standards of theology (and most early Western historians were priests), but is completely unconvincing from a somewhat more sceptical and down-to-earth point of view."

"Attributing a book to a famous early source added not only to-the authority of the book, but also to its market price in what was evidently a flourishing book bazaar in Baghdad. That many books were fakes and falsely attributed to famous early sources is evident from the Eihrist of al Nadim, a Baghdad shopkeeper of the 10th c., who hence prepared this fihrist or list of books he regarded as genuine. Of course, al Nadim was a shopkeeper, not a scholar, and his concerns about genuineness were limited to saleability—so, common hearsay was good enough for him— and he is unlikely to have been bothered by a well-established fake."

"“Ptolemy’s” Almagest begins (as natural for an 11th c. text) with what look like paraphrases of controversies from the history of Indian astronomy, “Aristotle’s” syllogisms are remarkably similar to the Nyàya theory of syllogisms, "Aristotle" uses theories like those of "action by contact" and the same words like "aether" (= sky = dkdsa) long used in India, and his physics is as similar to Arabic physics as "Archimedes" is to 11th c. Arabic mathematics."

"So, in practice, Western history has used two standards of evidence for transmission: one ultra-lax standard of evidence for transmission from "Greeks", and another ultra-strict standard for transmission to the West. For cases of alleged transmission from the Greeks, mere speculations—a speculative chronology combined with speculative attribution—are regarded as ample evidence of transmission. In the other direction, similarity with a real earlier work, by a real author, together with a clear channel of transmission, do not prove anything, for there is always the possibility of repeated miracles by which any number of people in the West may independently reinvent things just when they could be transmitted."
