Family 1
Family 1 is the name given to a group of Greek New Testament minuscule manuscripts of the Gospels, identified by biblical scholar Kirsopp Lake. These manuscripts vary in date from the 12th to the 15th century. The group takes its name from minuscule codex 1, now in the Basel University Library, Switzerland. "Family 1" is also symbolized as ƒ1 in critical editions of the Greek New Testament. Textual-critic Hermann von Soden refers to the group as Iη. Initially named after minuscule 1, later studies have demonstrated that another minuscule, minuscule 1582, is likely a better candidate as a representation of the archetype from which the Family 1 manuscripts are descended.
All ƒ1 manuscripts place the Pericope adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) after John 21:25 (the final verse of the book) as a separate story, and do not include it as a part of the Gospel as it is in the majority of manuscripts.
Family 1 was identified in 1902, when Lake published Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies, and established the existence of a new textual family of Biblical manuscripts. This group of manuscripts was initially based on the following four minuscules (minuscule refers to the style of Greek handwriting developed during the 9th-10th centuries CE, which overtook the earlier predominant uncial Greek script):
The group was then joined by the minuscules 22 and 1582. The minuscules 205, 872, 1278, 2193, and 2886 (formerly labelled 205abs) are now considered to be members of the family also.
Biblical scholar Silva Lake (wife of Kirsopp Lake), discovered that Minuscule 652 represents the text of ƒ1 in Mark 4:20-6:24, though this agreement was mainly with minuscules 118, 131, and 209, as opposed to a similar agreement with minuscule 1.
Biblical scholar Amy Anderson made a new reconstruction of the family tree in 2004, demonstrating minuscule 1582 was a more exact representation of the text of the archetype than minuscule 1. She identified the Family 1 manuscripts in Matthew as the minuscules 1, 22, 118, 131, 205, 209, 872, 1192, 1210, 1278, 1582, and 2193. Anderson also classified these manuscripts into four sub-groups: 1) manuscripts 1 and 1582 are core family members; 2) manuscripts 118, 205 and 209 are closely related to the core family members, with several variations; 3) manuscripts 22, 1192 and 1210 demonstrate a significant relationship; and 4) manuscripts 131, 872, 1278 and 2193 are textually complex, having numerous Byzantine readings, though likely had a Family 1 manuscript as an ancestor. Lastly Anderson discussed the relationship of minuscule 2542 to Family 1, which only had six Family 1 readings in the entirety of Matthew. Hence though minuscule 2542 is considered a Family 1 member at least in Luke chapters 10 and 20, in Matthew it is a purely Byzantine manuscript, despite several singular readings.
Alison Sarah Welsby, in her 2012 doctoral thesis, identified the ƒ1 manuscripts in John as the minuscules 1, 22, 118, 131, 205abs (2886), 205, 209, 565, 872, 884, 1192, 1210, 1278, 1582, 2193, 2372, and 2713, also coinciding with Anderson's view that 1582 was a better ƒ1 witness than 1. The work of Michael Bruce Morrill on John 18 also confirmed 138, 357, 994, 2517 and 2575 as core members of ƒ1 in John's Gospel.
The most obvious characteristic of Family 1 is that these manuscripts place the Pericope adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) after John 21:25. Manuscripts of this family include the Longer ending of Mark to the text, but minuscules 1, 209, 1582, 2193 and 2886 contain an explanatory comment (known as a scholion) that brings into question the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20. Accordingly scholars use these colophons along with other arguments as evidence that the original Gospel of Mark ended at verse 8, with verses 9-20 being added on later:
