At a time when editions of Euripides had long relied almost exclusively on a handful of manuscripts, Turyn redirected attention to the lower reaches of the medieval tradition, which include some or all of the Triad in more than 250 manuscripts. The majority of these (Turyn's Byzantini) strongly reflect the attentions of Byzantine scholars of the Palaeologan period, especially in the form of scholia, while a minority of about fifty are more or less free of these attentions and have older scholia if any. Turyn employed a stemmatic model which tended to disguise the openness of the tradition both before and during the Palaeologan period and to exaggerate the influence on the text of the Palaeologan scholars Moschopoulos, Thomas Magister and Triclinius, rather as if they were modern editors preparing text and commentary together. As for the rest, Turyn associated some of them with the oldest extant manuscripts in a broad class alpha (his veteres vetustiores) and others in another broad class rho (his veteres recentiores), deriving these two classes through two separate intermediaries from a single 9th/10th century minuscule copy of the text of the select plays.
