While my dander is still up, I'll suggest two recent elegant and eloquent books that have much to say about the written transmission of knowledge. One is Thomas Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization, the other is Elaine Pagels' The Origin of Satan(particularly pp 167 and on, covering gnosticism.) Of course, there are many more such books. These two books touch, with great intellectual force and clarity, upon the origins of modern Western European and American culture and knowledge, and could be nicely included in any curricula covering those topics.
