Codex Alexandrinus, the oldest Greek witness of the Byzantine text in the Gospels, close to the Family Π (Luke 12:54-13:4). The earliest clear notable patristic witnesses to the Byzantine text come from early eastern church fathers such as Gregory of Nyssa (335 – c. 395), John Chrysostom (347 – 407), Basil the Great (330 – 379) and Cyril of Jerusalem (313 – 386).
The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden in the late 19th century and designated by him with symbol K r. [1] According to Soden, the group is the result of an early 12th century attempt to create a unified New Testament text; the copying was controlled and the accuracy is unequalled in the history of the transmission of the New Testament text.
Critics of the Byzantine priority theory have generally argued that earlier, and thus "better", Alexandrian readings are to be preferred, arguing that the Byzantine text-type is a much later text, since the earliest Greek manuscript of the Byzantine text dates to the very early 5th century.
The text of the New Testament represents the Byzantine textual tradition and is close to the quotations of Chrysostom. The text of Paul's Letters is close to the Peshitta. The surviving manuscripts contain a considerable amount of Western textual elements, perhaps added later during the Ostrogothic Kingdom period. [48]
Currently it is considered to be one of the best witness of the Byzantine text-type, [7] and became the basis for The Gospel According to John in the Byzantine Tradition. [8] Wilbur N. Pickering believes subgroup 35 is the original text of the entire New Testament and has published The Greek New Testament According to Family 35. [9]
Family E is a textual group of the New Testament manuscripts. It belongs to the Byzantine text-type as one of its textual families, it is one of the primary early families of the Byzantine text-type. The name of the family came from the symbol of Codex Basilensis, the lead manuscript of the family, which is designated by symbol E (von Soden's K i).
The term is used in New Testament textual criticism. Fenton Hort gave eight examples from Mark (6:33; 8:26; 9:38, 39) and Luke (9:10; 11:54; 12:18; 24:53) in which the Byzantine text-type had combined Alexandrian and Western readings. It was one of the three Hort's arguments that the Byzantine text is the youngest. [1]
Herman Charles Hoskier (1864–1938), was a biblical scholar, British textual critic, and son of a merchant banker, Herman Hoskier (1832–1904). [1]As a textual critic of the New Testament, Hoskier generally but not entirely supported the text-type known as the Byzantine text-type against the Alexandrian text-type: the "text-types" are groups of different New Testament manuscripts which share ...
