Editing Marginalia (section)

==Biblical manuscripts==
Biblical manuscripts have notes in the margin, for liturgical use. Numbers of texts' divisions are given at the margin ({{lang|grc|κεφάλαια}}, Ammonian Sections, [[Eusebian Canons]]). There are some [[scholia]], corrections and other notes usually made later by hand in the margin. Marginalia may also be of relevance because many ancient or medieval writers of marginalia may have had access to other relevant texts that, although they may have been widely copied at the time, have since then been lost due to wars, prosecution, or censorship. As such, they might give clues to an earlier, more widely known context of the extant form of the underlying text than is currently appreciated. For this reason, scholars of ancient texts usually try to find as many still existing manuscripts of the texts they are researching, because the notes scribbled in the margin might contain additional clues to the interpretation of these texts.
