Tiempo Texto Verdad

What is the relationship between time, the philological truth (or the "true text") and canonical works, such as the Bible? Is textual truth related to time, space and culture, and how? And does the digital dimension open new scenarios in this millenarian struggle? In this paper I explore the theological bias of philological methodologies, which far from being neutral instruments in the hands of textual scholars have shaped, and often manipulated, the history of the transmission of our cultural heritage.
