A scholar or critic who practices chorizontism, the method of analyzing texts by attributing different portions to different authors.
From 'chorizontes' plus the suffix '-ist' (one who practices). The term describes modern scholars who follow similar divisive textual analysis methods to those of the ancient Greek Chorizontes.
Chorizontists are literary detectives who believe that by studying word choices, phrases, and inconsistencies they can prove multiple hands wrote a 'single' work—it's like CSI for ancient books!
