Re Mark O'brien's queries about author's style and NT textual criticism,
and in light of some of the responses, Kilpatrick's essays have now been
collected:
Principles and Practice of NT Textual Criticism: Collected Essays of G.
D. Kilpatrick, ed. J. K. Elliott (BETL 96; Louvain, 1990).
On Marcan Style, see now:
The Language and Stuyle of the Gospel of Mark [C. H. Turner's work on
Marcan style, plus some related stuff], ed. J. K. Elliott (NovTSupp 71;
Leiden: Brill, 1993).

For the value of author's style in NT textual criticism (not much, he
concludes), see the impt article:
J. H. Petzer, "Author's Style and the Textual Criticism of the New
Testament," Neotestamentica 24 (1990) 185-197.

Petzer has several articles on internal criteria; see the list in Ehrman
& Holmes, The Text of the New Testament in Contemporary Research (SD 46;
Eerdmans, 1995) 359.
