Family 1, also known as the Lake Group, is the name given to a group of Greek New Testament minuscule manuscripts of the Gospels, identified by biblical scholar Kirsopp Lake. These manuscripts vary in date from the 12th to the 15th century. The group takes its name from minuscule codex 1, now in the Basel University Library, Switzerland. "Family 1" is also symbolized as ƒ in critical editions of the Greek New Testament. Textual-critic Hermann von Soden refers to the group as I. Though initially named after minuscule 1, later studies have demonstrated that another minuscule, minuscule 1582, is likely a better candidate as a representation of the archetype from which the Family 1 manuscripts are descended. All ƒ manuscripts place the Pericope adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) after John 21:25 (the final verse of the book) as a separate story, and not included as a part of the Gospel as it is in the majority of manuscripts. History Family 1 was discovered in 1902, when Lake published Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies, and established the existence of a new textual family. This group of manuscripts was initially based on the following four minuscules: Minuscule 1 Minuscule 118 Minuscule 131 Minuscule 209 The group was then joined by the minuscules 22 and 1582. The minuscules 205, 872, 1278, 2193, and 2886 (formerly labelled 205) are now considered to be members of the family also. The most obvious characteristic of the Lake Group is that these manuscripts place Pericope adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) after John 21:25. Manuscripts of this family include the Longer ending of Mark to the text, but minuscules 1, 209, 1582, 2193 and 2886 contain an explanatory comment (known as a scholion) that brings into question the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20: . (In some of the copies the evangelist finishes at this point, at which point also Eusebius Pamphili finished his canons. But these [verses] are also found in many (others).) A similar scholion appears in the minuscules 22, 1192, and 1210: . (In some of the copies the evangelist finishes at this point. But these [verses] are also found in many (others).) Biblical scholar Burnett Hillman Streeter, working largely on the basis of data supplied by Lake, proposed that ƒ, along with Codex Koridethi (Θ), Family 13 (ƒ), the minuscules 28, 565, 700, the Armenian and Georgian versions, and later on also Codex Washingtonianus (W), were the
