The article is a report on the materials of the 11th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (Helsinki, 30th of October — 1st of November 2014). This new interdisciplinary field of research in the humanities (philology in the broadest sense) opens a discussion of such topical issues as scholarly approaches to the presentation, interpretation and editing of classical texts in a virtual environment, as well as of greater cooperation with users. Also, a broader framework of textual studies promises new perspectives for such disciplines as folkloristics, translation studies, etc.
Keywords: Textual Scholarship, oral tradition, written text, scholarly editing, digital philology.
