The first real history in Western civilization is regarded to be "Histories" by Herodotus, written in the 5th century BCE. Herodotus, often called the "Father of History," documented the Greco-Persian Wars and provided a narrative that included not only events but also cultural and social contexts of the peoples involved. His method of inquiry and emphasis on evidence marked a significant departure from mythological narratives.
i think it was a German author who wrote a book with this exact same title in German: "Der Sieger schreibt die Geschichte" by Winfried Martini. He was born in 1905 and studied law. The exaxt translation of the title is "The victor writes the history"
The author interprets the causes, contexts, chronology, consequences, and implications of past events through a process known as historiography. Historiography involves analyzing historical sources and narratives to understand how interpretations of history have evolved over time. It emphasizes the significance of perspective in shaping our understanding of historical events.

Using the system of Latin abbreviations, the first quotation from a text is referenced fully with an endnote. In the case of any references which follow, just give the author's name followed by op. cit. (which means 'in the work already quoted') and then the page number - as follows: 11. J.D. Bryant, The Origins of Mythology, London: Carfax Press, 1971, p.234.12. History Today, Vol XXXIV, No 18, p.123.13. Bryant, op. cit., p. 387. If the very next quotation is again from the same work, the abbreviation ibid. (which means 'in the same place') is followed by a page reference. You do not need to give the author's name. The sequence just given would therefore be extended: 11. J.D. Bryant, The Origins of Mythology, London: Carfax Press, 1971, p.234.12. History Today, Vol XXXIV, No 18, p.123.13. Bryant, op. cit., p. 387.14. ibid., p. 388.Visit this page http://www.mantex.co.uk/samples/quot.htm=== ===
Historians assess the reliability of a manuscript by examining several key factors: the manuscript's provenance, or its history of ownership and transmission; its textual consistency with other known sources; and the context in which it was created, including the author's background and the time period. They also analyze the manuscript's physical characteristics, such as the materials used and any signs of alteration or forgery. Additionally, historians may use linguistic and stylistic analysis to evaluate the authenticity and coherence of the text.
