If two students of one teacher transmit different qualifications in a report, what is the proper critical step?
The Compilation Method: Narrator Tiers, Justified Repetition and Abridgement
- Prefer the student who reports the longer wording without comparison
- Treat both versions as equally preserved merely because they share a teacher
- Compare the pupils’ precision, other students’ routes, and context to locate the difference
- Treat the qualifying phrase as a textual issue without checking its transmission
