Transcript

The opinions of the bibliographical school usually stand criticism in so far as they are based on investigation of the external conditions of printing at the time, but that† they are upset by evidence when concerned with the peculiarities of the text itself. The reason is that in the latter case the nature of the “copy” has been determined “auf Grund von stichprobenartig herausgegriffenen Einzelerscheinungen, die dann verallgemeinert wurden” {1}.
