دانلود کتاب Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lachmann's Method

?This book, written with the non-Italian reader in mind, addresses a central problem in textual criticism, and one that it is currently fashionable to regard as insoluble, namely, how to reconstruct a text of the past so that it is as close as possible to the lost original, starting from a number of copies more or less full of mistakes. The idea of writing this book ? which I left to age, as one does with wine and cured meats ? first occurred to me in 2006-2007, when I had the privilege of being a visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As the students felt the need to explain to me: ?Nobody had ever talked to us about these things.? For decades, very few, if any, Biblical, Germanic and Slavonic philologists, or French Romanists, or German editors of Anglo-American or Medieval Latin texts, have been talking about many of the things this book is about? (from the author?s preface).?My first essay on editorial methodology concerned the number of branches in family trees, and my latest concerned editing with the aid of computer programmes. On these topics and many another, Paolo Trovato?s combative and richly instructive book leaves me far behind, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity of commending it? (from M.D. Reeve?s foreword). Table of contentsForeword, by Michael D. ReevePrefaceAcknowledgementsHow to use this bookGeneral bibliographyIntroduction1. Philology or textual criticism2.
