KJV Superscript Cross References Missing

[pder3571]

Should not the King James Version with Strong's have cross reference superscripts like my NASB does? And yet, when I set the preferences in Edit or the individual KJV window not to the Hide superscripts, I am seeing no cross references, like am seeing in the NASB. What seems to be the problem? Can someone please help? Thanks.

It may well be that the KJV doesn't have footnotes (cross references) included within the text.

Paul is correct. The KJV doesn't have cross-references or notes.

Checking the Library folder ——> Tools ——> Translator Notes, I do find a file titled KJV Preface but no cross references for the Biblical text as one will find in many of the other translations.

 

Of course the Info Pane section titled Cross-References may be very useful in this case, especially if the Cross-Reference Tool is set to Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge. One may choose the Cross-Reference Tool by selecting the "gear icon" at the top corner of the Info Pane and then picking "Set Info Pane Display" and choosing one of the tools in the "Cross-Reference Tool:" selection window.

 

I find the Info Pane extremely useful for the Cross-References and Topics sections as these work with any text!

Of course Mark gave you the official answer before I finished typing.

Thanks, everyone. I still find it odd that the KJV has no cross references. Maybe this is something that the Accordance developers can look into adding at another time. While I'm not a big KJV advocate, as I primarily use the NASB, for certain studies (like one I am doing right now) and persons who are KJV advocates, it would be a big help to see those cross references without having to go to alternative sources, much like they already appear in other versions (like the NASB).

[Paul Meiklejohn]

As far as I'm aware Accordance developers only take the text as is, and would rarely make amendments to the original work (unless it was a typographical error). I think Solly's suggestion of using a parallel cross reference would be your best bet.  The Treasury of Scripture is extremely comprehensive.

Paul, I checked a few of my paper versions of the KJV version and discovered that the cross references vary by printer and century of publication. Now that leads to a rather interesting study of why there was not a common set of cross references chosen. This could be an interesting topic for a paper.

 

Shalom,

Yes Solly, I was as surprised as pderengowski, that there wasn't a common cross-ref associated with the text.  Nearly all printed versions have at least some basic footnotes, if not a full side or middle column with cross referencing.  I have two KJV's on my shelf that have them.  I guess since it's public domain that's it's going to only be the raw text that is free.   Let me know when you've finished writing your paper  .  Paul.

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (enhanced edition) is the most extensive cross reference system I've ever seen. It is based on the KJV and can be used in parallel with the KJV (or any biblical text) or accessed through the Info Pane.
