Scribal conjecture is a concept used to describe readings that arise when copyists or scribes deliberately make corrections of their own in the text they are copying because, for one reason or another, they are dissatisfied with the source text’s reading. For conjectures done by modern editors, cf. divinatio.
As a conjecture, a scribal conjecture is distinguished from a correction based on manuscript readings, that is through the collation of witnesses (cf. Trovato 2014, 152; and for a wider discussion of the use of the term 'conjecture', Krans 2013, 614-617).
