...from their originals. He was prepared both to diagnose errors that had, through many possible routes, entered the text and to make emendations with or without the MSS’ supporting authority. For Bentley, editorial choices, though informed by the documentary tradition, must advert to the sense of the text, as constrained by cultural and linguistic possibility: ‘to us reason and common sense are better than a hundred codices’ (note on Horace, Odes , 3. 27. 15).
