Stemmatology studies aspects of textual criticism that use
genealogical methods to analyse a set of copies of a text whose
autograph has been lost. This handbook is the first to cover the
entire field, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects
of traditional as well as modern digital methods and their history.
As an art (ars), stemmatology's main goal is editing and thus
presenting to the reader a historical text in the most satisfactory
way. As a more abstract discipline (scientia), it is interested in
the general principles of how texts change in the process of being
copied. Thirty eight experts from all of the fields involved have
joined forces to write this handbook, whose eight chapters cover
material aspects of text traditions, the genesis and methods of
traditional "Lachmannian" textual criticism and the objections
raised against it, as well as modern digital methods used in the
field. The two concluding chapters take a closer look at how this
approach towards texts and textual criticism has developed in some
disciplines of textual scholarship and compare methods used in
other fields that deal with "descent with modification". The
handbook thus serves as an introduction to this interdisciplinary
field.
