Synoptic edition
Definition
- A synoptic edition is an edition which renders the text of two or more witnesses in parallel columns across one or two pages, or above each other, in horizontal rows. The term is closely linked to the practice of making printed editions and thus limited to the typographical space created by one or two pages in a book. A synoptic edition can also render other sources than single manuscripts, for example bringing together already existing editions. The main advantage of a synoptic edition is that it makes textual comparison easy for the reader.
