FIND THE WORK · FIND THE WITNESSA manuscript map
A manuscript map
for connected reading.
Use the title, the witness and the edition together. Each tells you something different.
Three fields on a reading card
The literary title identifies the work. A manuscript identifier locates a surviving witness. An edition tells you which arrangement, transcription or translation you are reading. Keep all three when making a comparison so another learner can return to the same starting point.
