History is the academic study of the past through the use of written documents.
Academic historians in the past include Feltemi Reis, who wrote The Lights of History.[1] The Archives at the University hold copies of histories from Caluptena that cover knowledge for two thousand years.[2]
Historical texts can have issues based on transcription errors or discreet censorship, such as by the Tehlin Church or the Order Amyr.[3]
In the Chronicle
Kvothe begins his education in history with Abenthy when he is still in Lord Greyfallow's Men.[4] He describes himself as "well versed" in the subject by the time of his admissions interview.[5]
