Description

The objective of the present volume is to put the connection between philology and textual criticism on the agenda once again.

It addresses such questions as in what way philological study guides the textual critic and how textual criticism comes to the aid of the philologist; whether philology and textual criticism are necessarily linked, or the connections between them merely accidental; whether philology can justify conjectural emendations, and, if so, on what conditions; and inquires after the place of philological hypotheses in a text-critical apparatus or commentary.

The contributors discuss these theoretical questions and analyze case studies illustrating the principles at issue.
