The philologist and Byzantinist Paul Maas proposes here a systematic method for establishing the genealogy (stemma) of these manuscripts and for reconstructing their Byzantine archetype. His stemmatics takes the greatest account of the material and historical conditions of the transmission of these texts, because it is based on the preliminary study of the codices (paleography – or codicology) and their history. This method of P. Maas, which combines paleography, history and textual criticism, constitutes one of the peaks of modern philology.
