        Subject: Publication: Variants 15-16

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to inform you of the publication of Variants 15-16, the latest
issue of the journal of the European Society for Textual Scholarship.

This double issue offers a stimulating overview of the field of textual
scholarship in the 21st century. Topics include the findings of stemmatological
analysis of manuscript histories, and the genetic analysis of born-digital
materials and how to visualise this type of research. No less than three essays
discuss various forms of editorial challenges and interventions, from opera
texts to Polish émigré writers and the ever-changing work of the poet Maironis.
Several contributions explore the potential of digital scholarly editions for
addressing a new readership, via social media, interface design, and the partial
translation of historical texts. And, as always, the issue’s review section
presents insightful discussions of seminal works in the field.

The issue is available Open Access via
(https://journals.openedition.org/variants/1194), where you can also freely
download the PDFs of each of the contributions.

Happy reading!

On behalf of the editorial team,

Wout Dillen, general editor
Elli Bleeker, associate editor
Laura Esteban Segura, guest editor
Stefano Rosignoli, review editor
