Best-manuscript edition
Definition
- A best-manuscript edition is an edition based on a single witness of the tradition, chosen by the editor on the basis of the outcome of the recensio, or typically because it is the earliest and/or best preserved. The term refers to Joseph Bédier, who relied on a single “good” manuscript to produce the edition of the Old French Lai de l’Ombre.
