Look up urtext in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
Urtext is a word of German origin; ur- means "original," and text is as in English.1
In the humanities and social sciences, the word is often used in a metaphorical fashion to refer to a primitive, seminal, or prototypical example of an artistic genre or the basis of an ideological movement. For examples of such usage, see External Links below.
In classical music, the term has a more literal meaning, namely the version of the music as it was created by the composer; see Urtext edition.2
In Biblical Studies, Urtext refers to the original text of the Bible, the text that is believed to precede both the Septuagint and the Masoretic text.
