题目材料：

As a classic text on alchemy, George Ripley's Compound of Alchemy (1471) has received substantial scholarly attention, primarily focused on the English print editions published by Ralph Rabbards(1591). However, the work known to sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Europe was not the Compound known today from Rabbards' editions. Rabbards strived to produce the fullest possible version of the text, including two prefatory poems. "Prologue" and "Preface", and an associated dedicatory poem. Yet no authoritative "master text" dates from Ripley's lifetime in which all of these elements are preserved. Rather, the Compound's text was adapted over a century of circulation in the form of multiple copies, later reassembled by diligent scribes - a process that continued even after the work's translation into Latin and European vernaculars.

The passage suggests which of the following about "Prologue" and "Preface"?

A.They may have been originally written by someone other than George Ripley.
B.They were not included in copies of the Compound until long after Ripley's death.
C.They have been largely ignored by scholars who focused on the Rabbards editions
D.They may not have appeared together in every sixteenth-century copy of the compound.
E.Their overall content and style changed considerably over a century of circulation.
