| rdfs:comment | - Textus Receptus (Latin: Recieved Text) is the name given to a greek New Testament text which was the base for the Luther Bible, the King James Version, and many other translations from the Reformation era. The text was composed by Desiderius Erasmus and was published in 1516.
- The term Textus Receptus is Latin meaning "Received Text". It comes from the preface to the second edition of a Greek New Testament published by the brothers Elzevir in 1633. In this preface the Elzevirs wrote, Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum: in quo nihil immutatum aut corruptum damus -- “What you have here, is the text which is now received by all, in which we give nothing changed or corrupted.” From this statement comes the term Textus Receptus or TR, which today is commonly applied to all editions of the printed Greek NT before the Elzevir’s, beginning with Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus (1496-1536) and his first published edition in 1516.
