Özet	Stemmatic textual criticism, the method codified by Karl Lachmann and given its classic formulation by Paul Maas in 1958, reconstructs the lost original of a work transmitted in many handwritten copies. Because every act of copying introduces errors, manuscripts that descend from a common defective ancestor share those errors. Maas's insight is that shared errors, not shared correct readings, reveal genealogy: by grouping witnesses according to the significant errors they hold in common, the critic builds a stemma codicum, a family tree of manuscripts rooted in the archetype. M. L. West's 1973 handbook turned these principles into working editorial practice for Greek and Latin texts, including the scriptures transmitted in those languages. The pipeline runs from collation through error analysis to a reconstructed archetype that can be defended reading by reading.	Variant collation and the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM), developed by Gerd Mink at the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster, address the central obstacle to editing the Greek New Testament: contamination. Because medieval scribes routinely copied from several exemplars at once, the New Testament tradition is too intermixed for a classical bifurcating stemma. Mink's solution, set out in his 2004 chapter in Studies in Stemmatology II, shifts the unit of analysis from whole manuscripts to individual variation passages. At each passage the editor decides which reading gave rise to which (a local stemma), and the method then aggregates these local decisions, using the coherence of agreement among witnesses, to infer the global flow of text and the relationships among witnesses. CBGM now underlies the Editio Critica Maior and the modern Nestle-Aland and UBS Greek New Testaments.
