“…Agata detected stop-press variants in the Gutenberg Bible from which she inferred that the paper print predated the vellum print (Agata 2006;2011). It makes sense, as the less expensive material was used as a sort of preliminary state before the more expensive production was undertaken.…”

“…We want others to benefit from the many hours spent on the creation of individual transcripts, which is why we make those available for reuse. Since a significant portion of our research was funded with (Chaucer 2000;Bordalejo 2003) or of multiple ones (Chaucer 2004;2006;. We can rebuild our transcriptions for different purposes and select what version of the text and in which format will be displayed (see Bittner and Dase's description of the multiple encoding of our apparatus tag).…”

Although textual scholars agree that collation is a crucial component of the editing process, it often goes undefined and only briefly explained. This article defines the term, explains different kinds of collation, and explores some of its applications. We emphasize stemmatology and medieval textual traditions. By drawing from editorial examples and the theoretical frameworks of projects centred on works such as the Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, Dante’s Commedia and the Greek New Testament, the article seeks to compare manual and computer-assisted approaches to collation methods. We delineate the scope of this activity and argue that computer-assisted collation minimizes the risk of missing out on relevant data. We examine the advantages of full-text collation over sample collation and conclude that no decisions about stemmatically significant variation can be made a priory and that variant distribution is the major factor weighing on significance.

“…To be rigorous in assigning settings, one must be aware that there can be small differences in different copies of pages with the same setting, due to stop-press variants (see Agata [1], [2]). This is absolutely not the case here.…”

In this note we address two mistakes contained in two important censuses of the extant copies of the Gutenberg 42-line bible. The mistakes have to do with the so-called "increase of edition'' that took place when the printing work had already started, entailing that a number of pages had to be composed twice, producing clearly different outputs. In summary, the mistakes involve the copies known as V2 and P24, today in the Huntington and the Widener Libraries, respectively, and amount to a misclassification of some pages concerning the composition setting to which they belong.
