Abstract:

Stemmatology is the discipline that attempts to reconstruct the
transmission of a text on the basis of relations between the various
surviving manuscripts. The object of this volume is the evaluation of the
most recent methods and techniques in the field of stemmatology, as well as
the development of new ones. The book is largely interdisciplinary in
character: it contains contributions from scholars from classical,
historical, biblical, medieval and modern language studies, as well as from
mathematical and computer scientists and biologists. The contributions in
the book have been divided into two sections. The first section deals with
various stemmatological methods and techniques. The second section focuses
more specifically on the various problems concerning textual variation.

An earlier volume on Studies in Stemmatology was published in 1996 and
opened the most actual state of the art in stemmatology to a broad
audience. That first volume was very well received by stemmatologists and
also gave an impulse to new research, as several articles in the current
volume clearly illustrate.
