Synopsis
Excerpt from A Companion to Classical Texts
The more readable parts of this book have been de livered from time to time as lectures to the few among my pupils who care for such things. They are published, together with certain chapters which cannot claim to be easy reading, in the hope that the whole book will prove useful to a wider circle of students,-especially to those who, without wishing to become specialists in textual criticism, yet find that textual problems inevitably enter into their studies. Many people tend to regard textual criticism as a disease. But it is neither a disease nor a science, but simply the application of common sense to a class of problems which beset all inquirers whose evidence rests upon the authority of manuscript documents. And I shall be well content if I have succeeded in doing for the ordinary student of the classical and mediaeval writers what has been done so admirably for students of the New Testament by Sir Frederic Kenyon's Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament and by Eberhard Nestle's Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the Greek New Testament.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the principles and practices of textual criticism as applied to the study and understanding of Greek and Latin texts from antiquity to the Renaissance. It traces the history of texts from their initial production to their transmission in the Middle Ages and their eventual study by humanists, exploring the various stages of copying, editing, and preservation that have shaped their content. Through an examination of the roles played by scribes, scholars, and historical events in the transmission of texts, the author sheds light on textual problems, offering valuable insights into the methods and insights gained through the study of textual criticism. While it is essential reading for classical scholars, its accessible language makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of literature, philology, and the preservation of ancient knowledge.
