The line-chart shows the most productive centuries for documents as allegedly considered (therefore authentic) and as currently believed by the scholalry community (therefore forged)

The x-axis show the century of creation of the documents

The y-axisis show the number of documents normalised under the total scholalry opinions for each century

Scholalry opinions trends throught history

The chart shows the evolution of scholalry opinions towards the clafficiation of the documents in the collection.

The x-axis show the date of publication in which the scholalry opinion is stated

The y-axisis show the Document ID in the collection
