CONCLUDING THOUGHTS ON AUTHENTICITY
Authenticity is an unreachable goal: you should strive for it, but you’ll never get there
Authenticity is only one aspect of historical source criticism; completeness is equally important
Historical documents are remainder, historians transform them into sources by asking questions, history is constantly rewritten
We shouldn’t deliberately alter the remainder, but if it is inevitable, documentation is crucial
