Abstract - Method and working practice in philology are essentially the same to-day as they were a hundred years ago. It would be a big step forward if we could profit more from modern technology. In her dissertation Ms. Brefeld proposes and demonstrates the use of a statistical program in textual criticism. This review tries to describe and evaluate her interesting approach.
