Some of my Reformed brothers who (like me) prefer the KJV, seem to have a very low information understanding of textual criticism. For example, there seems to be a myth that manuscripts in the "Alexandrian text-type" family stopped being produced around the turn of the millenium. In fact, there are manuscripts dated from the 12th to 15th centuries (all are minuscules):
12th Century:
157 (A.D. 1122)
323 (12th)
850 (12th)
1241 (except Acts) (12th)
2298 (12th)
12th or 13th Century:
94 (12th or 13th)
442 (12th or 13th)
13th Century:
383 (13th)
579 (13th)
614 (13th)
1292 (Catholic Epistles) (13th)
1852 (13th)
2053 (13th)
2062 (13th)
13th or 14th Century:
1342 (Mark) (13th or 14th)
14th Century:
1506 (Romans and the first part of First Corinthians) (A.D. 1320)
718 (14th)
15th Century:
322 (15th)
