Higher Textual Criticism and Information Theory
Abstract
The author wants to provide an orientation of the mathematical
theory to be used in philology and its concerns. The basic
target of philology is to create the original text of any author
and the information theory-based research can provide help.
Information theory was presented by Shannon in 1948 and
Algorism was used. This can be used in finding errors and age
of text. One has to develop a stemma codicum (tree) of
different texts and software can be used like it was used in the
Canterbury Tales Project for 84 manuscripts and 4 printed
versions. Urdu should prepare itself for this kind of scientific
research and may develop and use such types of tools.
