Summary
The contributors of this volume discuss questions that arise regarding the connection between philology and textual criticism: How can philological study guide the textual critic and how does textual criticism come to the aid of the philologist? Can philology justify conjectural emendations, and, if so, on what conditions? Do philological hypotheses have a place in a text-critical apparatus or commentary? In addition to the theoretical discussion, the contributions analyze case studies that further illustrate the principles at issue.
