Document Summary
Started with biblical and classical texts: goal: recover the lost original (archetype) to create the ideal text. Critical: attempts to establish a text based upon research. Non-critical: simply reproduces a text already in existence (for example, to use the text as a vehicle for annotation or interpretive criticism) Text can serve as focus for critical commentary which is not available in the original edition. Apparatus: the notes, tables, and other items that describe the texts and explain what editors have done to the text. Editions are set from a pre-existing text. This chosen original text is called the copy text . Degrees of fidelity to the text: photographic facsimile, type facsimile, diplomatic transcript, modernized transcript. All copies of a book printed from substantially the same setting of type or form plastes made from that type or type image. All the copies of a book, produced by one pressrun, or printing.
