Greek: Ancient...
"As with Latin,
little critical interest was taken in the text of the
early Greek Bibles. Although
Erasmus
claims to have sought the
most authentic readings for his version, it is generally accepted
that he used texts which were readily at hand, and even resorted
to translating ‘backward’ from the Vulgate when his source
texts
were incomplete. The ‘Pre-Critical Period’, as Dr. Bruce M.
Metzger calls it, is typified by a
[providential] championing of
the
Beza text, which came to be known
by the [very accurate]
epithet of the ‘Textus Receptus’ (‘received
text’). (See under dates
1565 and 1624 [link].) Although it became
scholarly practice to
collect and document variant readings - culminating in the
monumental list of 30,000 compiled by John Mill -
few, indeed,
were the editors who dared depart from the Textus
Receptus.
It was not until Johann
Griesbach ventured to publish
his own
recension that scholars began the active critical reappraisal
of the text which has continued vigorously ever since. The
search for fresh evidence continues, although it is not every
day the a Codex Sinaiticus appears to a
Tischendorf; textual
critics are busy grouping and studying the approximately
5,000 Greek Biblical manuscripts which have already come to
light. Thus we sense the trail leading back, back, toward the
ideal, but [reachable], goal of the original texts, as set down by
the Evangelists and
Apostles." --1000 Tongues, 1972
