Family 1

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 the minuscule codex 1, now in the Basel University Library. "Family 1" is also known as "the Lake Group", symbolized as f1. Hermann von Soden calls the group Ih. Aland lists it as Category III in the Gospels and Category V elsewhere.[1]

Kirsopp Lake c. 1914

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 of a new textual family. This group of manuscripts was based on four minuscules (1, 118, 131, 209), but now we consider 205, 205abs, 872 (in 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 placed 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 the manuscripts 1 and 1582 contain a scholion that brings into question the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20: Εν τισι μεν των αντιγραφων εως ωδε πληρουται ο ευαγγελιστης εως ου και Ευσεβιος ο Παμφιλου εκανονισεν εν πολλοις δε και ταυτα φερεται. (In some of the copies the evangelist is completed to this point, to which point also Eusebius Pamphili made his canons. But in many these [verses] are also found.)[2]: s. 92 

In Mark 6:51, the word εξίσταντο (they were astonished) was changed into εξεπλήσσοντο (they were astounded) against all other manuscripts.

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.

Silva Lake discovered that Minuscule 652 in Mark 4:20-6:24 represents text of the f1.[3]

Amy Anderson made a new reconstruction of the family tree in 2004 and showed that minuscule 1582 is a more exact representation than 1 of the text of the archetype. She identified the Family 1 manuscripts in Matthew as 1, 22, 118, 131, 205, 209, 872, 1192, 1210, 1278, 1582, 2193 and 2542.

Alison Sarah Welsby, in her 2012 doctoral thesis, identified the Family 1 manuscripts in John as 1, 22, 118, 131, 205abs (2886), 205, 209, 565, 872, 884, 1192, 1210, 1278, 1582, 2193, 2372, and 2713. The work of Bruce Morrill on John 18[4] also confirmed 138, 357, 994, 2517 and 2575 as core members of Family 1 in John's Gospel.

Within the family, there are three manuscripts which may be more closely related. 209 was part of Cardinal Bessarion's collection by 1438 A.D., and may have served as the exemplar for 2886 (copied at his direction before 1468 A.D.) and 205 (copied at his direction after 1468 A.D.).

2886, before receiving its own Gregory-Aland number, was long assumed to be a direct copy of 205 and was thus named 205abs (from Abschrift, the German word for copy). D. C. Parker rehearsed Lake's views who thought 209 to have been the parent of 205,[5] and then Parker rehearses Josef Schmid's (1956) views who considered 2886 and 205 to be daughters of 209's lost sister.

Claremont group profile

According to the Wisse the group profiles of the Lake's Family in Luke 1, 10, and 20 are:

Luke 1: 9, 11, 17, 20, (22), 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 32, (34), 36, 37, 40, 43, (47), 48, 50, 51, 53.
Luke 10: 2, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 15, 20, 22, (23), 27, (29), 34, 37, 40, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 62.
Luke 20: 1, 5, 6, (7), 10, 11, 14, 19, 20, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 41, 44, 45, 48, 51, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 72, 75, 76.[9]

Relationship to the Textus Receptus

A comparison of the texts of the four main Lake manuscripts (1, 118, 131, and 209) with the text of the Textus Receptus, shows that in the sections comprising Matthew 1-10; Matthew 22 - Mark 14; Luke 4-23; John 1-13; and John 18, there are 2243 variants in Family 1 from the Textus Receptus; 1731 of these are found in codices 118 and 209, and 209 has 214 more variants not found in 118.[2]: XXIV  Similarly for the sections comprising Mark 1-5 and Luke 1-24, there are 1188 variants in Family 1 from the Textus Receptus, 804 of these are found in 131, which elsewhere agrees very closely with the Textus Receptus.[2]: XXIV  Lake did not enumerate itacistic differences.[2]: XXIV
