NT - New Testament, OT - Old Testament

The original Greek NT codex of the 1550 Stephanus (revised by Robert “Stephanus” Estienne in 1550, compiled by Erasmus in 1516) is historically known as the “Textus Receptus” with the abbreviation of “TR”. However, two subsequent revisions were also labeled as “Textus Receptus”: a revision by Theodore Beza, and a reconstruction effort by Frederick H. A. Scrivener to create a synthetic Greek codex to match the amalgamation of sources used by the King James Version (KJV).

Later, the term “Textus Receptus” was also generically applied to the Hebrew OT codex of the 1525 Ben Chayyim, which is utilized in the King James Version of the Holy Scriptures. Thus, as a grouping, “Textus Receptus” formally refers to the 1550 Stephanus Greek codex and the 1525 Ben Chayyim.
