Family 1:
The text of f1 is quite good in Matthew. Therefore it is good to have additional
witnesses.
Manuscript 652 is f1 in Mt from 22:15 on to the end.
This has been discovered by Russell Champlin in 1964 (Family Pi in Matthew,
Studies and Documents 24).
Unfortunately 652 has not been catched by Text & Textwert. INTF has rightly
been criticized for having used too few 'Teststellen' in Mt and Lk (only 7 after
22:15). The result is that e.g. a manuscript like 652 slipped through and was
classified as simply Byzantine.
1582: This manuscript has been corrected by a later hand to the Byzantine text.
I have decided to normally not record these corrections, but only in exceptional
cases.
Additionally the T&T analyses
found the following minuscule manuscripts as especially noteworthy:
"2" "Special"
372 36% 10%
2737 33% 9%
2786 24% 7%
22 32% 8%
1192 22% 5%
279 22% 7%
2680 20% 10%
517 15% 10%
1675 16% 15%
These are comparable to:
33 38% 14%
W 22% 7%
579 16% 4%
22 and 1192 form a group with 48/56 (86%) agreement. 22 is close to f1 in Mt.
372 and 2737 form a group with 59/64 (92%) agreement. All of these are not
outstanding, but only tertiary witnesses. 372 has some remarkable agreements
with B.
