Abstract

The title gives the impression that if textual criticism is under criticism then there is no science for textual studies. But that will be misleading. What is changing in this pursuit of textual studies, is neither the data with which we are working nor an apathy for the science, but in fact, a stronger involvement with this science. The term "Xerox problems" is nothing but a modern wordplay for the old copy mechanics of the Ancients.
