Abstract

Texts revised on paper are often marked with graphical signs to show what to change and how. The field of genetic textual criticism uses these signs to study the evolution of literary manuscripts.

This paper describes a technique that is being used to formalize these graphical changes into deltas. This technique makes it possible to identify not only for simple modifications like additions or deletions of texts, but also for more complex phenomena such as "undone" modifications. The application of this technique allows textual scholars to base their arguments on quantitative data.
