Family 13
Family 13 , marked in the Greek text edition by Nestle-Aland with the seal 13 , Hermann von Soden uses I i , is an extensive and important group of Greek minuscule manuscripts of the New Testament. It is named after minuscule 13 from the 13th century.
The textual criticism can use the various readings to create a stemma, i.e. a kind of family tree, in which it is determined from which template a text originates. Text families have special characteristics that distinguish them from other manuscripts and that prove that they all come from a single original. According to Nestle-Aland, family 13 includes the minuscules 13, 69, 124, 174, 230, 346, 543, 788, 826, 983, 1689, 1709 and other manuscripts. It was classified in category III . Like family 1, it represents the so-called Caesarean text type , which is not recognized by all researchers as an independent text type. The pericope Jesus and the adulteress is arranged in these manuscripts according to Luke 24:53 and not part of the Gospel of John, as it corresponds to the Western text type .
History of exploration
Johann Jakob Wettstein was able to establish a close relationship between 13 and 69, Treschow discovered a relationship between 13 and 124 and Andreas Birch discovered relationships between 69 and 124. William Hugh Ferrar (1826–1871) presented the four manuscripts 13, 69, 124 and 346 in a common group and reconstructed a template from these writings with its own, far-reaching text and with special readings. From him the family also bears the name Ferrar Group . In the course of time, other manuscripts were assigned to the group. The last publications on the topic are from Barbara Aland . Some manuscripts in Albania have only been accessible for research since 2008 and there are probably other witnesses of this family of texts there.
