Franz Fischer, 7.3 Representing the critical text
The first paragraph of the chapter: "Every scholarly edition has to be understood as an embodied argument about the textual transmission" (Eggert 2009, 177; quoted by Tarrant 2016, 124). This section is dealing with the components and presentational features of critical texts which are essential to both print and digital editions. Standards and conventions of presenting the critical text in print have been developed over the past two centuries – and, as will be demonstrated in the following, are fundamentally challenged by the digital paradigm.
