This volume contains selected papers from the Amsterdam Free University Stemmatological Colloquia 1990-1993. All papers focus on new directions in textuology and manuscript affiliation, and especially on the use of computer science in this field. The theoretical implications of computer-assisted stemma construction ar e explored. In combination with achievements in codicology and paleography, these investigations allow for dealing with the major problems in textuology: extreme complex and entangled manuscript traditions. Following an introductory chapter, Part 1 presents six theoretical contributions on stemmatology. Part 2 deals with auxiliary fields in textuology, and in Part 3 applications of the previously developed theoretical fields are presented. *** CONTENTS Prologue Pieter van Reenen and Margot van Mulken vii PART I: Methodological Approaches Cladistics or the Resurrection of the Method of Lachmann Ben J.P.
