<description descriptionType="Abstract"><p>The tendencies of Byzantine authors and scribes with regard to punctuation, orthography or accentuation, based on such trustworthy witnesses as an autograph, a copy corrected or dictated by the author himself, have been the subject of individual analyses or integrated into editions. Yet, modern editors still waver between their normalization and their adoption.&nbsp;On the one hand, this diversity in editorial principles points to the need for a systematic study of authorial and scribal habits and their evolution throughout the Byzantine period. On the other, an ever more urgent issue is how the results of such a study would affect textual criticism and editing techniques. The observations outlined below apply to literary texts, written in prose and in learned language.</p></description>
