Beate Kellner & Susanne Reichlin (ed.s): Vormoderne Praktiken der Philologie. De Gruyter. Berlin, 2026.
Premodern philological practices such as copying, compilation, and commentary have characterized interactions with texts around the world. This volume sheds light on various forms of text maintenance in various cultures and inquires into their material, cultural, and institutional conditions and functions, thereby revealing a diversity of philological practices going beyond the Eurocentric narrative of progress.
