Textual Criticism is the field of biblical study that conceptually follows the development of the Biblical canon. It attempts to ascertain the original wording of the text in situation when the very original manuscripts (autographs) were lost and only their copies are available, whereas there are variations among them.[1] These discrepancies are assumed to result from copyists' errors.[2]
