Examples

“Following 1 above, it has been tacitly assumed that any manuscript book in C or R, irrespective of any change⟳ of antigraph, was equal to a manuscript text with uniform features, unless produced by more than one scribe, in which case the various parts were given separate⟳ treatment.”

“…once grouped the manuscripts into families, copied manuscripts can be discarded; only their antigraphs are considered, in order⟳ to perform⟳ the next step.”
