Stephanus' Textus Receptus of 1550: The Greek New Testament (Ancient Greek Edition)

Stephanus' Textus Receptus: The Complete New Testament in Greek

Includes accents and breathing marks. This reprint edition has a two-coloumn layout, and the text is large and easy to read. There is plenty of space in the wide margins to add notes.

This is the genuine 1550 Received Text of Robert Stephens, and should not be confused with later editions of a so-called "Textus Receptus" which were in fact edited to mirror the Authorized Version.

Robert Estienne printed his first Greek New Testament in 1546. Although his first to editions are beautiful Greek texts, the third and most significant is known as the Editio Regia or the "Royal Edition", published in 1550 for King Henri II, which was based on more than 15 Greek sources. The 1550 version became known as the Textus Receptus and was used as the standard Greek text of the New Testament for a number of generations.
