Characteristics

Compared to

manuscripts, the distinct Byzantine readings tend to show a greater tendency toward smooth and well-formed Greek, they display fewer instances of textual variation between parallel Synoptic Gospel passages, and they are less likely to present contradictory or "Lectio difficilior potior, difficult" issues of exegesis.

''Textus Receptus''

The first printed edition of the Greek New Testament was completed by Erasmus and published by Johann Froben of Basel on March 1, 1516 (Novum Instrumentum omne). Due to the pressure of his publisher to bring their edition to market before the competing Complutensian Polyglot Bible, Complutensian Polyglot, Erasmus based his work on around a half-dozen manuscripts, all of which dated from the twelfth century or later; and all but one were of the Byzantine text-type. Six verses that were not witnessed in any of these sources, he back-translated from the Latin Vulgate, and Erasmus also introduced many readings from the Vulgate and Church Fathers. This text came to be known as the ''

'' or ''received text'' after being thus termed by Bonaventura Elzevir, an enterprising publisher from the Netherlands, in his 1633 edition of Erasmus' text. The New Testament of the King James Version of the Bible was translated from editions of what was to become the ''Textus Receptus''. The different Byzantine "Majority Text" of Hodges & Farstad as well as Maurice A. Robinson, Robinson & Pierpont is called "Majority" because it is considered to be the Greek text established on the basis of the reading found in the vast majority of the Greek manuscripts. The Textus Receptus differs from the Majority Text in 1,838 Greek readings, of which 1,005 represent "translatable" differences.

Modern critical texts

Karl Konrad Friedrich Wilhelm Lachmann, Karl Lachmann was the first New Testament textual critic to produce an edition that broke with the ''Textus Receptus'', ignoring previous printings and basing his text on ancient sources, therefore discounting the mass of late Byzantine manuscripts and the Textus Receptus. The critical Greek New Testament texts of today (represented by Novum Testamentum Graece, UBS/NA Greek New Testaments) are predominantly Alexandrian text-type, Alexandrian in nature, but there are some critics such as Maurice A. Robinson, Robinson and Zane Hodges, Hodges who still favor the Byzantine Text, and have produced Byzantine-Majority critical editions of the Greek New Testament. Around 6,500 readings differ between the Majority text and the modern critical text (represented by Novum Testamentum Graece, UBS/NA Greek New Testaments), although the two still agree 98% of the time. The Byzantine type is also found in modern Eastern Orthodox Church, Greek Orthodox editions. A new scholarly edition of the Byzantine Text of John's gospel, (funded by the United Bible Societies in response to a request from Eastern Orthodox Scholars), was begun in Birmingham, UK. and in 2007, as a result of these efforts, ''The Gospel According to John in the Byzantine Tradition'' was published. Von Soden divided manuscripts of the Byzantine text into five groups: * K^x: no uncials, hundreds of minuscules, among them codex 2, 3, 8, 14, 45, 47, 49, 51, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 73, 75, 76, 78, etc. * K^r: no uncials, no early minuscules, hundreds of minuscules: 18, 35, 55, 66, 83, 128, 141, 147, 155, 167, 170, 189, 201 * K¹ (subfamily of K^x): S V Ω 461 * Kⁱ (Family E): Codex Basilensis A. N. III. 12, E Codex Boreelianus, F Codex Seidelianus I, G Codex Seidelianus II, H * I^k (also K^a), now Family Π: (A) K Y Π; this subgroup is the oldest, but only 5% of manuscripts belong to it. Majority of them have text mixed with other Byzantine subfamilies. Since the discovery of , , and , there is occasionally an early witness to some Byzantine text readings. Examples: Luke 10:39 : : A W Byz b : : B D L Ξ 579 892 cop^bo syr^c Luke 10:42 : : A C W Byz : : B : : : : 38 syr^pal Luke 11:33 : : B F Θ ''f''¹ ''f''¹³ : : 33 Byz John 10:29 : : B it : : ''f''¹ ''f''¹³ Byz John 11:32 : : B C* D L X : : Θ Byz John 13:26 : : B C L X 33 : : ^c A Θ Acts 17:13 : : : omitted: E Byz 1 Corinthians 9:7 : : * A B D* G P : : Byz Ephesians 5:9 : : * A B D* G P : : Byz Philippians 1:14 : : A B (D*) P Ψ 33 81 104 326 365 629 1175 1241 2464 : omitted: D² Byz Other examples of Byzantine readings were found in in John 1:32; 3:24; 4:14, 51; 5:8; 6:10, 57; 7:3, 39; 8:41, 51, 55; 9:23; 10:38; 12:36; 14:17. This supports the views of scholars such as Harry Sturz (1984) and Maurice A. Robinson, Maurice Robinson (2005) that the roots of the Byzantine text may go back to a very early date. (In 1963 Bruce Metzger had argued that early support for Byzantine readings could not be taken to demonstrate that they were in the original text.) Some authors have interpreted this as a rehabilitation of the Textus Receptus. Many of these readings have substantial support from other text-types and they are not distinctively Byzantine. Daniel Wallace found only two agreements distinctively between papyrus and Byzantine readings.D. Wallace, ''The Majority Text Theory: History, Methods, and Critique'', in Studies & Documents 1995, p. 303
