Abstract

In scholarly editing, more particularly in the context of collating various versions of a text, the definition of a variant reading is crucial. Yet, despite its importance, the meaning of a variant reading is often reduced to a “difference.” The reason for such a vague definition is that what makes a variant can largely depend on the field of study: scholars of the Homeric oral tradition will consider different variants from scholars of medieval traditions or early printed texts, or from genetic critics. This contribution will focus on the modelling of a reading, arguing that formalizing this concept is necessary in order to define, and thus model, a variant. This article will also address digital representation of a reading by focusing on one implementation: the JSON data format used in conjunction with collation programs such as CollateX.
