Textual scholarship

Textual scholarship (or textual studies) is an umbrella term for disciplines that deal with describing, transcribing, editing, or annotating texts and physical documents. It examines how texts are produced, transmitted, and transformed over time, considering both their material and linguistic forms. From the recovery and collation of manuscript witnesses to the creation of critical or digital editions that reflect textual variation and editorial decision-making, textual scholarship encompasses a wide range of practices.
