|
llegándose cerca conoció que eran caçadores de Altanería, llegóse más, y entre ellos [...] |
| (II, 30; fol. 114r). | ||
(N. from the A.)

«Definitive» is an unfortunately transitory status in textual studies, but it is still an appropriate goal. See Shillingsburg, pp. 33-34, and the comments of James Thorpe, Principles of Textual Criticism (San Marino, California: Huntington Library, 1972), pp. 171-73. (N. from the A.)

«It is impossible to generalize about how many collations are sufficient, and a limit to the process will generally be determined on practical grounds. But editors will wish to continue collating until they can feel reasonably confident that all the relevant evidence has been recorded» (C. Thomas Tanselle, «Textual Scholarship», in Introduction to Scholarship in Modern Languages and Literatures, ed. Joseph Cibaldi [New York: Modern Language Association, 1981], p. 45). This question is also discussed by Vinto A. Dearing, «Methods of Textual Editing», in Bibliography and Textual Criticism, ed. O. M. Brack, Jr., and Warner Barnes (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1969), pp. 73-101, at pp. 78-79. (N. from the A.)
