1 The author of a [[work>>doc:stemmatology.Work.WebHome]] is the person (possibly persons) who wrote it. The term is usually employed in the case of works whose penning involves a creative element; thus the author is differentiated (albeit gradually) from a compiler or [[redactor>>doc:stemmatology.Redactor.WebHome]], and even more so from the [[scribe>>doc:stemmatology.Scribe.WebHome]]. This same criterion is used today in copy-right laws. In ancient and mediaeval literature there are works which cannot be attributed to a single author and many whose author is anonymous or pseudonymous. If the work is preserved in the author's handwriting, the manuscript that kept it is called an [[autograph>>doc:stemmatology.Autograph.WebHome]]. In [[doc:stemmatology.New Philology.WebHome]] the concept author is abolished in the wake of postmodernism (esp. Barthes 1968).
