Textual criticism na one branch of textual scholarship, philology, and literary criticism wey dey concerned with di identification of textual variants for either manuscripts or printed books. Ancient scribes dey make changes wen dem dey copy manuscripts by hand. If dem give you one manuscript copy, several or many copies, but no be di original document, di textual critic fit try reconstruct di original text (di archetype or autograph) as closely as possible. Di same processes fit dey used to try reconstruct intermediate versions, or recensions, of di document's transcription history. Di ultimate objective of di textual critic work na to produce one "critical edition" wey go contain one scholarly curated text.

Many ancient works, like the Bible and the Greek tragedies,[citation needed] dey survive for hundreds of copies, and di relationship of each copy to di original fit no dey clear. Textual scholars don dey argue for centuries on top which sources dey most closely derived from di original, hence which readings for those sources dey correct.[citation needed] Although biblical books wey be letters, like Greek plays, suppose get one original, di question of whether some biblical books, like the Gospels, ever get just one original don dey discussed. Interest for applying textual criticism to the Qur'an don also develop after di discovery of di Sana'a manuscripts for 1972, wey possibly date back to di 7–8th centuries.
