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>","doi":"10.25592/uhhfdm.605","journal":{"issue":"July","pages":"18-22","title":"Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies Newsletter","volume":"8"},"keywords":["Manuscript Studies","Byzantine Studies","Philology","Text criticism","Punctuation","Scribal practice"],"license":{"id":"CC-BY-4.0"},"publication_date":"2014-07-15","related_identifiers":[{"identifier":"10.25592/uhhfdm.604","relation":"isVersionOf","scheme":"doi"}],"relations":{"version":[{"count":1,"index":0,"is_last":true,"last_child":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"605"},"parent":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"604"}}]},"resource_type":{"subtype":"article","title":"Journal article","type":"publication"},"title":"Byzantine punctuation and orthography.
