This textual study of the Gospel of John in seventeen Greek manuscripts offers a fresh investigation into the textual group known as Family 1. Since Kirsopp Lake's 1902 study, Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies, Family 1 has been considered an important textual witness by all major critical editions of the the New Testament; however, with the exception of a recent study of Matthew (Amy Anderson, The Textual Tradition of the Gospels: Family 1 in Matthew), little further research has been conducted into the family's text. By analysis of a full collation of John, this study examines manuscripts: Gregory-Aland 1, 22, 118, 131, 205abs, 205, 209, 565, 872, 884, 1192, 1210, 1278, 1582, 2193, 2372, and 2713. The study has confirmed the place of codices 1 and 1582 as core members of Family 1, but has demonstrated the existence of a new core subgroup, represented by codices 565, 884 and 2193, that rivals the textual witness of 1 and 1582. The discovery of this subgroup has broadened the textual contours of Family 1, leading to many new readings, both text and marginal, that should be considered Family 1 readings. The reconstructed Family 1 text with critical apparatus is based on the witness of this wider textual group and is offered as a replacement to Lake's 1902 text of John.

"The goal of this book is to suggest that Jesus as a creative artist was heavily influenced by the Hebrew Bible's Book of Proverbs. It posits that he created some of his short parables from specific verses found in Proverbs, suggests that he expanded some basic sapient themes present in this book when composing his parables, and shows him reacting negatively to the commonly held belief that this Book's overall concept of wisdom is that the wise are rewarded and the fools are punished by God through their own self-destructive choices and subsequent actions. Thus this text points to Jesus as an inventive artist, a concept not usually associated with him, and it complicates simplistic ways of defining biblical wisdom. Part I demonstrates how Jesus might have created his tales from specific proverbs found in the Book of Proverbs. The overarching theme for these parables is wisdom: Jesus as wisdom (I Cor. 1:24) speaking wisdom in new ways. Part II discusses Jesus as a self-actualized artist who creatively designed these tales. It examines what shaped Jesus' artistry, what might have been the sources of his literacy, why he might have chosen to expand individual proverbs imaginatively in order to create his moral tales, and how his wisdom enhanced conventional attitudes toward wisdom as the former included and clarified his new "kingdom of God" concepts. This book could be used in courses treating Literature and the Bible, Biblical Art, The Humanity of Jesus, and Wisdom Literature Common to Christians and Jews"--

Als einmaliger Glücksfall innerhalb der frühmittelalterlichen Textüberlieferung ist schon früher die Erhaltung des Otfridschen Handexemplars in Gestalt der Wiener Handschrift (Cod. 2687) gewürdigt worden. Die Heidelberger Handschrift (Pal. Lat. 52) setzt dazu eine weitere Pointe. Sie stammt nicht nur aus Otfrids Skriptorium, sie ist sogar von den gleichen Hauptmitarbeitern wie in V direkt kopiert und in vielfacher Hinsicht verfeinert und künstlerisch weiterentwickelt worden. Dies geschah wohl noch zu Lebzeiten Otfrids im letzten Viertel des 9. Jahrhunderts, allerdings ohne Korrekturen des Dichters. Otfrid selbst hat Anfertigung und Ausgestaltung der Abschrift samt Rubrikation dem Hauptmitarbeiter des Vindobonensis, Hand V1 (= P1) übertragen, ihm die Hand V2 (= P2) als Mitarbeiter zugewiesen. Prinzip war die absolute Genauigkeit in der Textübernahme aus V. Eigenständige Texteingriffe wurden vermieden, d.h. Änderungen wurden auf formale und künstlerische Aspekte beschränkt. Das Schreiberkonsortium hat auf die Herausarbeitung struktureller Formindizien besonderen Wert gelegt. Deren Funktion als Sinngruppen, von Wichtigkeit auch für den musikalischen Vortrag, war den Mitarbeitern bekannt. Die Einsicht in die Sinnstruktur dieser Initialen ging in der Folgeüberlieferung der Otfridhandschriften (D/F) verloren. Dies gilt auch für sämtliche moderne Herausgeber und Editionen.
