Muhtasari	Comparative hermeneutic analysis is a qualitative method that applies hermeneutic interpretation across two or more texts, traditions, or discourses to reveal shared meanings, tensions, and divergences. Drawing on Gadamer's concept of the hermeneutic circle and Ricoeur's theory of text and meaning, it moves iteratively between the parts and the whole of each text while simultaneously holding multiple texts in dialogue, surfacing how different historical, cultural, or disciplinary contexts shape interpretation.	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.
