Sammanfattning	Digital textual criticism is the application of computational and digital methods to the scholarly analysis, collation, and editing of historical texts. Building on centuries-old philological practice, it uses tools such as XML/TEI encoding, automated collation software (e.g., CollateX), and computational stemmatology to compare manuscript witnesses, reconstruct textual transmission histories, and produce digital critical editions that are richer and more transparent than their print counterparts.	Textual criticism is a systematic philological method for identifying, comparing, and evaluating variant readings across multiple manuscript or print witnesses of a text in order to reconstruct the most accurate version of the original — or the author's intended — text. Applied since antiquity to classical, biblical, and literary works, it remains the foundational editorial method in classical studies, biblical scholarship, medieval studies, and critical editing of literary works.
