Item description from seller

27 p.

By expressly criticizing the hurried work of the transcriber, Martial shows us one of the likely causes of the corruption of a text in ancient times. To restore such texts as much as possible to the original, there was created in the last century a discipline called textual criticism, which may be considered the most important branch of philology. The founder, it is generally agreed, was Karl Lachmann, but other scholars of the same age deserve mention for their contributions Orelli, Madvig, Zumpt, Ritschl. Indeed, the more research advances, the more scholars are found who, before Lachmann, were familiar with some of the criteria used in textual criticism. - Wikipedia: Sesto Prete (September 27, 1919 in Montefiore dell'Aso - June 15, 1991 in Cagli, Italy) was an Italian-born American philologist and paleographer.
