Criticism of the text. Maas P.

“Criticism of the text”, for the first time published in 1927, acquired the final look in the 1961 edition and already in our millennium was awarded the name “Crown of Modern Publishing Art” (Coronamento Dell'ecdotica Moderna). In it, with an extraordinary thoughtful way, breast -based on the discoveries of the great K. Lahmann, the doctrine of the restoration of genuine words of the written monument, preserved in the unexplored (“uncontrolled”) handwritten tradition. Maas's work is known or should be known to everyone who faces the task of restoring or evaluating the safety of the monument; “Criticism of the text” now exists in Spanish, two Italian, English, Greek, partial Polish translations.
