The highest-level course guides the student through the process of preparing an edition of a medieval or early modern text found in multiple manuscript witnesses. Using a text which has not been previously edited, the students will as a group work through the stages and decisions which go into the making of editions:

1. Locating and transcribing the witnesses: The students will use the skills previously learned in the basic level course to locate, date and transcribe the multiple witnesses of the unedited text.
2. Collating variants: Using the skills learned in the advanced course, the students will collate variants in order to create a variant apparatus and stemma codicum.
3. Presenting the edition: As a group, the students will decide how to present their findings as an edition, whether electronic or print, best-text or critical, diplomatic or normalised, etc.

Following the course, the students are encouraged to continue their work as a group for eventual publication of an edition.
