Description

The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden and designated by him with symbol Kr.[1] The group is the result of an early 12th century attempt to create a unified New Testament text. The copying was controlled and the accuracy in unequalled in the history of the transmission of the New Testament text. Text Kr gained in popularity and became the most copied Greek text of the late Middle Ages. On the basis of the present location of most of the members of the group, it appears to have originated in the area of Constantinople or Mount Athos. Majority of manuscript can be recognized by the distinctive marginal lectionary equipment which which are different from the traditional Eusebian Canons. Von Soden used this markings to identify Kr members. The text of the group is also distinct and easy to identifying. [2]

David O. Voss confirmed distinctiveness of the Kr group. He enumerated some readings typical for this group. The group readings: Luke 1:34.37.43; 10:11.23.57.60.63; 20:4.13.19.30.35.52.55.62.65.[3]
