Description

The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden and designated by him with symbol Kx. [1] The only distinction von Soden made among Kx members was according to the presence and type of the Pericope adulterae. [2] Due to the massive influence of the group on other groups and its lack of control, the boundaries of group remain blurred. [3] The most problematic is the question, how many Kx readings can be missing and how many surplus readings can be added before a manuscript no longer deserves to be classified as Kx? [3]

According to the Claremont Profile Method Kx has following profile in Luke 1, 10, and 20 are: [n 1]

According to von Soden the group Kx emerged in the 10th century. [5] The group probably evolved from Family E, which is not as easy to distinguish as groups Kr and K1. Von Soden included these Kappa manuscripts in this family, which are not classified as Kr or Ki. [3]

The Textus Receptus was created on the basis of the manuscripts of this group.[ citation needed ]

The Claremont Profile Method is a method for classifying ancient manuscripts of the Bible. It was elaborated by Ernest Cadman Colwell and his students. Professor Frederik Wisse attempted to establish an accurate and rapid procedure for the classification of the manuscript evidence of any ancient text with large manuscript attestation, and to present an adequate basis for the selection of balanced representatives of the whole tradition. The work of Wisse is limited only to three chapters in Luke: 1, 10, and 20.
