The lack of consistency and precision of editorial terminology is
an often-bemoaned complication for the work of any publisher or
editor. Against this backdrop, the editor of this volume launched
an ambitious project to create a Dictionary of Editorial Philology.
The book compiles articles and findings from this endeavor, with
the aim of making a contribution to raising general awareness about
the problems of editorial terminology."
The volume assembles the papers delivered at an international
colloquium devoted to the clarification and practical
implementation of text-genetic concepts of scholarly editing. The
essays brought together here center to a high degree on a
comparison of the Critique GA(c)nA(c)tique approach developed in
France and the persuasions underlying Text Genetics as conceived in
German-speaking countries. In addition, individual editions are
examined for their text-genetic purview, individual problems of
text-genetic description are discussed and possibilities for the
employment of electronic data-processing investigated. Despite the
obvious bias towards questions of scholarly editing, the volume
casts light on an important area of editorial activity in a way
that also opens up new vistas on textual criticism and study for
other literary studies scholars not themselves actively engaged in
editing work.
