While you claim on page 4 , "that in antiquity literature was presented aloud. Silent Reading did not exist" strikes me as a strange claim. I have images of the lonesome monks thoughtfully reading the text. You "conjured the setting of the shepherds around the campfire at night..." But these folk were religious devotees, not cub-scouts. What evidence do you have that the religious texts were solely for public presentations?
