Editing Festschrift (section)

==Terminology==
The term, borrowed from German, and literally meaning "celebration writing" (cognate with ''feast-script''), might be translated as "celebration publication" or "celebratory (piece of) writing". An alternative Latin term is {{Lang|la|liber amicorum}} (literally: "book of friends"). A comparable book presented posthumously is sometimes called a '''{{Lang|de|Gedenkschrift}}''' ({{IPA|de|ɡəˈdɛŋkʃʁɪft|pron|De-Gedenkschrift.ogg}}, "memorial publication"), but this term is much rarer in English.

A ''Festschrift'' compiled and published by electronic means on the internet is called a '''{{Lang|de|Webfestschrift}}''' (pronounced either {{IPA|[vɛp-]}} or {{IPA|[wɛb-]}}), a term coined by the editors of the late [[Boris Marshak]]'s {{Lang|de|Webfestschrift}}, ''Eran ud Aneran'',<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.transoxiana.org/Eran/ |title=Eran ud Aneran – Transoxiana Webfestschrift Series 2003 |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |journal=Transoxiana |issn=1666-7050 |publisher=Transoxiana.org |access-date=8 October 2013}}
