Diplomatic edition
Definition
- A diplomatic edition is an edition which is based on a single witness and usually follows it very closely in matters of layout and orthography. In many cases, obvious mistakes are not corrected, but pointed out in the apparatus. Diplomatic editions are particularly frequent in the field of vernacular languages, since many of these lack a standard orthography.
