Description: "This important work now appears in its first English translation. The Genesis of Lachmann's Method examines the origin, development, and validity of Lachmann's model as well as its association with Lachmann himself. It remains a fundamental work on the history and methods of editing texts, and Glenn W. Most's translation makes this seminal study available to an English-speaking audience. In addition to expanding Anglophone scholars' understanding of Greek and Latin texts prepared in modem times, the new translation also will help anyone who studies texts not prepared by their original authors.

Revealing Timpanaro's extraordinary talent as a textual critic and world-class scholar, this book will be indispensable to classicists, textual critics, biblical scholars, historians of science, and literary theorists."--Jacket.
