Back in the day, we had something non electronic called books. They were printed with many ink formulas on many forms of paper, animal skins, and even bamboo and other plant materials, which would give the reader, if able to do so, to understand the concepts written down. Sorry had to do it just playing with everyone. Thanks

The fact that you had to explain what books are is just depressing.
I don’t know whether you’re trying to be funny, because it wasn’t.

I mean that how they were concluded. how people talked about it and more.

I’m not nearly qualified to answer that but why not try? First the decimation of information over the course of history varies widely, but broadly first you have to consider literacy levels, but more importantly the individual desire. Pre-1900 the speed of the fastest transportation was trains(still somewhat modern considering how far back you want to know), horses, ships, and foot speed. If your desire to read Aristotle, for instance, circa the dark ages, as a Irish monk, you may have the benefit of the churches network already established, so it maybe in the library of your larger churches, lucky you, but you may have to travel via horse if also lucky to a port, ship by wind power to the continent to find such material, even possibly into Greece to find it, so that would be a slow and difficult journey at least, deadly at worst. Don’t know if that helps but hey, best my limited knowledge can provide. Thanks
