How can I combine tabularx, sidewaystable and longtable? I was not able to find a solution to this specific issue in this forum.

& In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

& And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Well, the first step is to remove a lot of the extraneous material in your code. The idea is to create a minimal working example; that is, one that demonstrates your problem without anything that does not contribute to that problem. For example, all of the
biblatexstuff, which doesn't affect your problem at all.The next step is to read all your documentation. E.g., you state that the first line of the table does not repeat. For this, you want
\endhead; preceding material will be repeated on all pages of the table.Then, you really want to see the sizes of the preceding pages and the following pages, so you can be sure that your landscape pages are really landscape. So let's use
\usepackage{lipsum}to give us some context before and after thelongtable.Here's what I came up with (assuming you're happy faking the effect of
tabularxas suggested in the comments):That gives you something like this:
Which I think is what you're looking for.
