Editing Family 1 in the dECM of Matthew and Mark
The forthcoming digital Editio Critica Maior (dECM) of Matthew will include an attestation of a reconstructed archetypal text for Family 1 (labeled F1) in the apparatus. Work is currently underway to add F1 to the dECM apparatus of Mark. This F1 attestation corresponds to a newly edited Family 1 text of Matthew and Mark that will appear in the ECM Matthew Studies volume. This presentation examines cases in which the new F1 text revises Kirsopp Lake’s Family 1 text based on Codex 1, as well as cases in which the ƒ1 attestation in NA28 should be amended. Finally, the paper considers specific examples with implications for translation and interpretation.
