Dittography
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Dittography is the accidental, erroneous act of repeating a letter, word, phrase or combination of letters by a scribe or copyist.[1][2] The term is used in the field of textual criticism, especially in critical studies of ancient or biblical literature. The opposite phenomenon, in which a copyist omits text by skipping from a word or phrase to a similar word or phrase further on, is known as haplography.
Example
Papyrus 98 in Rev 1:13 has Script error: No such module "Lang". instead of Script error: No such module "Lang". (doubled μ). The Codex Vaticanus repeats the word Script error: No such module "Lang". in John 13:14. The phrase "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians" appears twice in Acts 19:34 in the Codex Vaticanus, while it only appears once in other manuscripts.[3]
