A manuscript stemma is a kind of tree wh= ere=20 you classify the manuscripts of a text to show graphically the philologic= al=20 tradition. People spend hours connecting the different words with pointed arrows to = find=20 that it doesn't print well or when you want to change something, everythi= ng=20 is going amok and you need another couple of hours to fix it.
