| | Alexandrian text-type - definition of Alexandrian text-type in Encyclopedia |
 | | One reason is that Alexandrian manuscripts are the oldest we have found, and some of the earliest church fathers used readings found in the Alexandrian text. | | | Alexandrian proponents counter that the Byzantine church was dominated by Arianism around the time that we first see evidence of the Byzantine text emerging. | | | The Byzantine texts read "God was manifest in the flesh", whereas Alexandrian texts, with support from the Old Latin, Vulgate, Peshitta, Western text-type and many early church fathers read "He was manifest in the flesh". |

| | Byzantine text-type - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although the majority of New Testament textual critics now favor a text that is Alexandrian in complexion, especially after the publication of Westcott and Hort's edition, there remain some proponents of the Byzantine text-type as the type of text most similar to the autographs. | | | According to the preface to the New King James Version of the Bible, the Textus Receptus, the Alexandrian text-type and the Byzantine text-type are 85% identical. | | | Among those who believe that the Byzantine text is only a secondary witness to the autograph, there is some debate concerning the origin of the Byzantine text and the reason for its widespread use and homogeneity. |

| | The Error of King James Only. |
| | the Byzantine text is "the Koine text" (p.xx). | | | The Vulgate text of the New Testament beyond the Gospels is not found until the early fifth century in the writings of Pelagius and his followers [and, hence, it wasn't done by Jerome at all]. | | | However, these kinds of text clearly reflect that the New Testament Text had already begun to diverge in the independent copying period (prior to and, in part, due to the Diocletianic persecutions), but the divergence was not yet as highly pronounced or as "planned" as it would become during the Text-Type period. |

| | Alexandria vs. Antioch |
| | Those that support the KJV only position claim that the Alexandrian Text Type denies the deity of Christ, yet it was the Antiochene position on the nature of Christ, not the Alexandrian position that was heretical. | | | Generally they lump all of Alexandrian theology in with that of Origen, whom they claim is responsible for the Alexandrian form of the Greek text. | | | Both doctrines that the KJV-only crowd claim are "weakened" in the Alexandrian manuscripts. |

| | Finally, the Byzantine text, as already alluded to, comes from a tradition dating back to the fourth century, and its agreement with this preferred reading is well worth noting. | | | Though the former readings lie generally in the Alexandrian text-type their dates are much later than the most reliable witnesses of the same Alexandrian text-type. | | | However, it must be said that external evidence alone is not the final mediator in choosing the best reading for the text. |

| | Alexandrian text = the type of text that is found in many of the oldest NT manuscripts, best represented by Codex Vaticanus (B, 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (Aleph 4th century), and the papyrus MS P75 (3rd century). | | | God has preserved this text through the centuries, they say, while the various "corrupt" types of text ceased to be copied by scribes in the early centuries of church history. | | | The extracts quoted above reveal the position of Ellen White on such questions as the transmission of the Sacred Text, the union of the divine and the human in the written record of God's revelation to man, and also as to her relation to the various translations of the Holy Scriptures. |

| | For several years the Alexandrian Text was blindly considered to be a pure or 'neutral' representation of the original text of the Bible writers. | | | If the Alexandrian Text is the pure form of the New Testament text, then it would mean that the church was deprived of its benefits for 88 percent of the time since it was written! | | | The Critical Text is derived primarily from the Alexandrian text-type and includes such published texts as the United Bible Society, Nestle-Aland, and Westcott-Hort. |

| | QA Bible Translations |
| | The reason for the difference is that there are two Greek text types that are used to make translations of the Bible, the Majority text type (otherwise known as the “Textus Receptus”) and the Alexandrian text type (with the two most prominent being the Vaticanus and the Sinaiticus). | | | The Majority text type, which makes up the vast majority of Greek texts and is the most reliable, being uncorrupted by the papacy, renders this verse “Spirit,” while the Alexandrian text type renders this verse “Spirit of Jesus.” | | | There is much more evidence to indicate that the Majority text type, from which the King James Version of the Bible was translated, is the most reliable Greek text type. |

| | KING JAMES VERSION DEBATE |
| | Thesis 6: '"The argument that defends the Byzantine text by appealing to the providence of God is logically and theologically fallacious" (p.55). | | | As for its manuscript basis, it is evident that the TR stands close to the text found in the majority of all manuscripts, and the number of passages derived from the Vulgate are very few. | | | Such a method is clearly biassed against manuscripts which preserve a longer text and in favour of manuscripts which present a shorter text, since the longer reading will be said to be 'conflation' of different kinds of shorter reading and hence not 'distinctive'. |

| | The text was written from left to right along the fibers in broader or narrower columns, the writing coming on the inside and the end of the text being rolled last. | | | Example: the underlying Greek text of the Revelation bears no resemblance to that of the style revealed in the gospel and epistle of John. | | | The possibilty exists, that the preponderance of textual evidence that exists for the Received Text is due to this sudden and positive proliferation based upon that chosen by Eusebius, and that the Alexandrian Text could also very well be the oldest archtype because of this situation; but this is speculation. |

| | For approximately 1500 years the Alexandrian text was forgotten, not used, and only rediscovered in the 19th Century. | | | Both the Majority Text and the Alexandrian Text reject the words in the King James and New King James version. | | | Erasmus finally agreed to include them if any Greek text with those words were provided to him--several months later a rather fresh Greek manuscript was provided to him and thus he was compelled to keep his promise. |

| | What about the Majority Text? |
| | And so it is appropriate to say that the texts in question fall into two groups: (1) The kind of text found in the majority of medieval manuscripts (often called the Byzantine text-type); and (2) the ancient type of text which is exhibited in our oldest available manuscripts (often called the "Alexandrian" text-type). | | | These critical texts are based upon the oldest manuscripts and versions (from the 100's to the 600's), and agree with one another much more than any of them agree with the Received Text or the Majority Text. | | | It does not stand halfway between the Received Text and the critical texts; it is definitely closer to the Received Text -- and yet it differs from the Received Text in about a thousand places, most of them being trivial. |

| | The standard text was probably memorized by monks who have spent a greater part of their lives studying, reciting, and copying the gospel texts. | | | Thus, the evidentiary basis for a hypothetical text must be the texts of its descendents. | | | All of these assumptions are problematic when applied to manuscripts: manuscripts may have more than two copies made from them; some extant manuscripts are known to be exemplars of other manuscripts, and contamination is sufficiently common that it cannot be ignored. |
