helayo: Reconstructing Sanskrit texts from manuscript witnesses
Résumé
For most ancient and medieval texts, the original text itself is no longer extant in a material form. Instead, we have manuscripts that are copies of copies of copies made over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, which accumulate errors and other changes each time they are transcribed by hand. To reconstruct the original text from these imperfect copies, scholars create a stemma — analogous to an evolutionary tree — to determine the relationships between manuscripts and trace those textual changes over time.
