THE GENERAL EPISTLES—f35 variants

Wilbur N. Pickering, ThM PhD

The purpose of this apparatus is to show all variation within Family 35, as identified by a complete collation of the following thirty-nine representative MSS—18, 35, 141, 149, 201, 204, 328, 386, 394, 432, 604, 757, 824, 928, 1072, 1075, 1100, 1248, 1249, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1732, 1754, 1761, 1768, 1855, 1864, 1865, 1876, 1892, 1897, 2221, 2303 (only in James), 2466, 2587, 2626 and 2723.

1 The

first reading is that of the family and represents the vote of all the collated MSS (listed above) that are not identified as having a variant. For example, the most serious split in James, at 2:14, has thirteen MSS with the variant, and one illegible; since 39 were collated, that leaves the other twenty-five with the main reading.

1 I have excluded MS 664 from this apparatus to reduce the clutter—it is so sloppy, 82 singular readings, and so late, XV, that it

can tell us very little about the transmissional history of the family. (However, its statistics are included in the paper, “Adjudicating Family Splits”.) Since it has all the distinctive family readings, it is clearly f

35, so I have collated 40 MSS, just

under half of the total extant (83 family representatives for these books). 2 dwdeka || dwdwka 1892
