Family 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family 1 is a group of Greek Gospel manuscripts, varying in date from the 12th to the 15th century. The group takes its name from minuscule codex 1, now in Basel. "Family 1" is also kown as "the Lake Group", symbolized as f1. Hermann von Soden calls the group Ih. Aland list it as Category III in the Gospels and Category V elsewhere.
Family 1 was discovered in 1902, when Kirsopp Lake (1872-1946) published Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies (118, 131, 209), and established the existence new textual family. This group of manuscripts based on four minuscules (1, 118, 131, 209), bu now we consider 205, 205abs, 872 (Mark only), 884 (in part), 1582, 2193, and 2542 (in part) to be members of the family.
The most obvious characteristic of the Lake Group is that these manuscripts place Pericope adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) after John 21:25. In addition, 1 and 1582 contain a scholion questioning the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20.
B.H. Streeter, working largely on the basis of data supplied by Lake, proposed that Family 1, along with the Codex Koridethi (Θ), Family 13, the minuscules 28, 565, 700, and the Armenian and Georgian versions, were the remnants of what he labelled the Caesarean Text, differing in a number of common respects from the then established Byzantine, Western and Alexandrian text-types.
