Canons of Criticism
Although detailed methods vary, there are really only two ways to edit a Bible text. One is to print a text based on some sort of external control (the Textus Receptus, the text found in the majority of manuscripts, the text found in B/03). This may be useful, and may fit the publisher's assumptions, but it hardly constitutes editing. Its's more an exercise in reading an illegible hand.

Encyclopedia of New Testament Textual Criticism
This page is not affiliated with the Encyclopedia, and there is no particular reason to think the articles here will appear in the Encyclopedia. I just thought the idea was so good that I decided to create my own version of some of the articles pending the appearance of the real thing. It should also be noted that I (Robert Waltz) am not a recognized textual critic, and that the information on this page has not been peer reviewed. While I have done all I could to ensure its accuracy, this page probably should not be used as a bibliographic reference. [eng]

The Century of Papyrology (1892-1992) by Peter van Minnen
In the second half of the nineteenth century Mommsen had decided, by the sheer weight of his scholarly production, the old German battle between classicism and Altertumswissenschaft in favour of the latter. Classicism, defined as the study of classical texts belonging to the traditional canon, had given way, by the end of the nineteenth century at least, to Altertumswissenschaft, defined as the study of ancient cultures and embracing all that remains of those cultures: literature, artifacts and, most importantly for my purposes, documents.

Textual Criticism
The method of textual criticism which has been generally practised by editors of classical Greek and Latin texts involves two main processes, recension and emendation. Recension is the selection, after examination of all available material, of the most trustworthy evidence on which to base a text. Emendation is the attempt to eliminate the errors which are found even in the best manuscripts.
