This book re-examines the most traditional area of classical
scholarship, offering critical assessments of the current state of
the field, its methods and controversies, and its prospects for the
future in a digital environment. Each stage of the editorial
process is examined, from gathering and evaluating manuscript
evidence to constructing the text and critical apparatus, with
particular attention given to areas of dispute, such as the role of
conjecture. The importance of subjective factors at every point is
highlighted. An Appendix offers practical guidance in reading a
critical apparatus. The discussion is framed in a way that is
accessible to non-specialists, with all Latin texts translated. The
book will be useful both to classicists who are not textual critics
and to non-classicists interested in issues of editing.
