Editing Textual criticism (section)

=== History ===
From its beginnings, digital scholarly editing involved developing a system for displaying both a newly "typeset" text and a history of variations in the text under review. Until about halfway through the first decade of the twenty-first century, digital archives relied almost entirely on manual transcriptions of texts. Notable exceptions are the earliest digital scholarly editions published in Budapest in the 1990s. These editions contained high resolution images next to the diplomatic transcription of the texts, as well as a newly typeset text with annotations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Balassi |first=Bálint |editor-last=Horváth |editor-first=Iván |title=Balassi Bálint összes verse, hálózati kritikai kiadás (c) 1998 |url=http://magyar-irodalom.elte.hu/gepesk/bbom/itart.htm |access-date=2022-10-19 |website=magyar-irodalom.elte.hu}}</ref> These old websites are still available at their original location. Over the course of the early twenty-first century, image files became much faster and cheaper, and storage space and upload times ceased to be significant issues. The next step in digital scholarly editing was the wholesale introduction of images of historical texts, particularly high-definition images of manuscripts, formerly offered only in samples.<ref name="ecommons.luc.edu">Shillingsburg, Peter, "Literary Documents, Texts, and Works Represented Digitally" (2013).
