1 Scribal conjecture is a concept used to describe [[readings>>doc:stemmatology.Reading.WebHome]] that arise when [[copyists>>doc:stemmatology.Copyist.WebHome]] or [[scribes>>doc:stemmatology.Scribe.WebHome]] deliberately make corrections of their own in the [[text>>doc:stemmatology.Text.WebHome]] they are copying because, for one reason or another, they are dissatisfied with the source text’s [[reading>>doc:stemmatology.Reading.WebHome]]. For conjectures done by modern editors, cf. //[[divinatio>>doc:stemmatology.Divinatio.WebHome]]//.

3 As a [[conjecture>>doc:stemmatology.Conjecture.WebHome]], a scribal conjecture is distinguished from a correction based on [[manuscript >>doc:stemmatology.Manuscript.WebHome]]readings, that is through the [[collation >>doc:stemmatology.Collation.WebHome]]of [[witnesses>>doc:stemmatology.Witness.WebHome]] (cf. Trovato 2014, 152; and for a wider discussion of the use of the term 'conjecture', Krans 2013, 614-617).
