If forgery can contain an auto exposure? About one logic reception of research of ancient sources.
The sketch of article on motives of one of the chapters of the book "Middle Ages. Mediterranean. Multivariancy".

In light of the great amount of forgeries it is possible to pay attention to one surprising moment. When any medieval (or ancient) the author created a certain document, which should play a role ancient, very much frequently he in one of remarkable forms made the very remarkable message on a theme, what yes, to such product it is possible to not concern as to the original document seriously. Such form frequently was, that he somewhere on pages of this product he made the message on things obviously unreal (at the author of the book spins in language an example with the taming of the elephants, use them in battle art, even the transition on them through the Alpes, that for so sensitive for differences of temperature of animals would be real torment). Or for example, having the great amount of the spice moments a history of England for children of authorship by Charles Dickens [232], which, belonging to the most outstanding writers of the time, for certain guessed much.

Thus the principle would work, probably clear and clear for his many contemporaries, that the doubtful information informed in one place, automatically on itself attracted the so doubtful information informed in the other place. That is similar type the sign messages thus worked as the message to the readers that it is impossible to concern to his product as to product strictly documentary.

The author of the book would name given as a principle emotivism (emotivism is a word, with which help, as at the author of the book the impression was created, it is accepted to name wortless message of the information). To consider results of his(its) application to many products attributed by a deep antiquity, would be for certain interestingly.
