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.
