How might we explain the relations between its various material and textual components? And how will that explanation alter if we shift our gaze to the digital scholarly editions that have been looming on the horizon for a couple of decades now? There has been more promise than delivery so far, but their day is coming. Some would say it has arrived, although university presses are still commissioning new series of printed scholarly editions. Will digital editions afford us the same mixture of reactions that their printed counterparts do? Or will the logic of the different medium dictate other, unpredicted outcomes?"--
