What is the Textus Receptus?

Textus Receptus is the name given to a series of important Byzantine Greek manuscripts and texts of the New Testament printed between 1500 and 1900.

The Textus Receptus is the text from from which the New Testment of the King James Bible was translated.

The name Textus Receptus was first used in 1633. However, the name has been retrospectively applied to all the printed Greek texts of the same Byzantine text-type since the early 16th century.

Textus Receptus was established on the Byzantine text-type, which represents over 90% of the 5,800+ Greek manuscripts of the New Testament still in existence today.
