The colored boxes and stars represent our interpretation of the dendrogram, and become our working hypothesis for investigation of the book. Click the image on the left the dendrogram.

Ecclesiastes: Sample, Best Representatives, Minor Recensions, Other Studies
There are two Earliest Attested outlier manuscripts that are about 5% different from the rest of the Earliest Attested manuscripts, but also differ from one another
by about 11%. They are –
Bibliothèque nationale Abbadie 35
and Davies Axum Zion 3 (1664).
Minor Recension (perhaps better referred to merely as two outlier manuscripts): EMML 1917 (e19th) and EMML 3439 (19th) share a number
of unique readings, but have a 21% degree of difference from the rest of the tradition. Likewise, these two manuscripts are fully 17%
different from one another. Consequently, we cannot refer to this as a coherent cluster until we have more manuscripts.
