Stephanus’ Textus Receptus of 1550

TR1550

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

Robert Estienne (Robert Stephens) French printer

This is the real 1550 Received Text of Robert Stephens, and should
not be confused with later editions of Scrivener’s „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” (Editio Regia), 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 (like the King James Version).
