Features: Historically, universities offering humanities and social sciences programs generally require the inclusion of a "Classical Manuscript Studies" course. This course focuses on teaching the fundamental knowledge of bibliography, textual criticism, and collation, explaining the basic concepts, historical development, and related documents of these fields. It emphasizes the systematic and comprehensive nature of theoretical knowledge, enabling students to gain a holistic understanding of classical manuscripts. This textbook, however, emphasizes the introduction of classical manuscripts themselves, aiming to guide students in utilizing documents and cultivating their practical ability to apply them. It helps students identify which documents can address specific problems and which problems can be solved using which documents, thereby integrating theoretical knowledge of bibliography with practical application and deepening their understanding of the theory.
