Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the condition of scholarly editing in Poland, projecting the development that could occur thanks to the use of digital tools. Bem demands an evaluation of the editorial tradition and the concepts and categories of classification that have emerged in that framework – a framework that is rooted in a different methodological situation in the humanities. Bem advocates for the promotion and broad realization of digital scholarly editing, which offers an opportunity to change the paradigm of scholarly editing. Digital scholarly editing also promises to liberate editors both from having to choose the base text for the edition and from establishing the critical text that is supposed to reflect the author’s intention.
