In this paper I describe a new model for the apparatus criticus in the digital age, one which eliminates many of the limitations of the traditional print apparatus and allows readers to take an active role in constituting their own texts. In addition to discussing the prospects and possibilities for the apparatus criticus, I make a broader case for a new approach to editing texts and try to explain in an accessible way some of the benefits of digital scholarship. These issues are particularly important to think through as the SCS develops their Digital Latin Library and similar projects are underway elsewhere.
