| Summary: | Greek New Testament manuscripts frequently format the genealogy of Jesus in Luke in multiple columns. This format has led copyists to introduce errors in the sequence of names by reading the text in the wrong direction. This article presents five manuscripts of the Gospels with catenae which transmit a disordered genealogy of Jesus. The analysis of the disruptions to the sequence of Jesus’s ancestors allows the reconstruction of their exemplar. The article further identifies two codices without commentaries attesting the same pattern of disorder. The other codices with this form of Luke 3:23–38 and the contents of the five catena manuscripts substantiate that they have a common archetype and form a new family of Greek New Testament manuscripts. |
