3 Stemmatology is an umbrella term for all scholarly and scientific studies focused on [[textual>>doc:stemmatology.Text.WebHome]] genealogy and the creation of a [[stemma codicum>>doc:stemmatology.Stemma.WebHome]]. It is usually concerned with reconstructing a specific [[stemma>>doc:stemmatology.Stemma.WebHome]] (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)starting from the basis of the surviving witnesses(%%), but may also deal with stemmata in a more abstract sense (hence this lexicon's name). The term is usually used as a synonym to [[stemmatics>>doc:stemmatology.Stemmatics.WebHome]]. As with many other fields, the endings //-ology// (from λόγος 'word, meaningful or scientific utterance') and -ic(s) (the adjective forming suffix -ικὴ, feminine because the feminine noun τέχνη 'art, field of study' is intended) tend to be used for the same purpose, namely to label a 'scientific field about X'. If a difference between the two terms is perceived, stemmatology tends to be the wider term, whereas stemmatics may be confined to the [[Lachmannian method>>doc:stemmatology.Lachmann’s method]].

5 (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)The Latin term '//stemmatologia//' was already in use in the early 18th century, e.g. it appears in the title(%%) (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)//[[Stemmatologia Tigurina: Das ist Zürichisches Geschlechter Buch>>url:http://dx.doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-19216||shape="rect"]]// […] by Erhard Dürsteler (//sine anno,// but apparently printed between (% style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)1706 and 1724(% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)).(% style="color: rgb(31,31,31);" %) But the //stemmata// included in this book were genealogical trees of human beings, not of manuscripts. The word //stemmatographia// was used synonymously (cf. (% style="color: rgb(31, 31, 31); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)Joseph Ramminger, (% style="color: rgb(31,31,31);" %)//stemmatographia//(% style="color: rgb(31, 31, 31); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %), in: (% style="color: rgb(31,31,31);" %)//Neulateinische Wortliste.
