This is an introduction to the textual criticism of ancient texts – covering theory as well as specific applications, such as how to read and interpret text critical apparatuses and their evidence. Primary attention will be given to texts preserved in Greek and Latin, including translations from Hebrew to Greek (especially Jewish scriptures in Greek) and between Greek and Latin. Jewish and Christian texts, scriptural and others, will be examined as well as various classical writings. Working knowledge of Greek is necessary; some Latin and/or Hebrew would be helpful but not crucial.
The goal of textual criticism is to collect and evaluate available information relating to the symbolic presentation (especially wording) and associated meaning(s) of a text in an attempt to shed light on its various stages of transmission and re-presentation, from the earliest ascertainable form onward throughout the lives of the preserved witnesses.Quest for "the original" is but one of many possible byproducts.

Also valuable as a starting point is Jim Marchand's outline in What Every Medievalist Should Know (WEMSK), now online at wemsk/textcritwemsk.html
And some informal notes from the MEDTEXTL (Medieval Text List) on related subjects.
