		The Alexandrian text-type (also called Neutral or Egyptian) is a group of early manuscripts whose text is most similar to Christian writers active in Alexandria, Egypt in the 3rd and 4th centuries, including Origen and Cyril of Alexandria.
		Byzantine texts read "God was manifested in the flesh", whereas Alexandrian texts read "He was manifested in the flesh".
		For example, Alexandrian manuscripts are among the oldest we have found, some of the earliest Church fathers used an Alexandrian text, and Alexandrian witnesses preserve the readings that are more likely to give rise to the variant readings in other text-types.

		The Byzantine texts read "God was manifest in the flesh", whereas Alexandrian texts, with support from the Old Latin, Vulgate, Peshitta, Western text-type and many early church fathers read "He was manifest in the flesh".
		One reason is that Alexandrian manuscripts are the oldest we have found, and some of the earliest church fathers used readings found in the Alexandrian text.
		Alexandrian proponents counter that the Byzantine church was dominated by Arianism around the time that we first see evidence of the Byzantine text emerging.

		The Alexandrian text-type (also called Neutral or Egyptian) is the form of the Greek New Testament that predominates in the earliest surviving witnesses.
		Up till the 9th century, Greek texts were written entirely in upper case letters - referred to as Uncials; but during the 9th and 10th centuries, the new lower-case writing hand of Minuscules came gradually to replace the older style.
		Some of those arguing in favor of Byzantine priority further assert that the Alexandrian church was dominated by the gnostics who generally had either docetic views of Jesus, or considered his life to just be an allegory that was not based on facts.

	Text-Types Of The New Testament Manuscripts: Alexandrian ("Neutral"), Western, Byzantine & Caesarean
		Modern scholars have identified the type of text preserved in the New Testament manuscripts by comparing their characteristic readings with the quotations of those passages in the writings of the Church Fathers who live near or in the chief ecclesiastical centres.
		Characteristics of the Alexandrian text are brevity and austerity.
		Another Eastern type of text, current in and near Antioch, is preserved today chiefly in Old Syriac witnesses, namely the Sinaitic and the Curetonian manuscripts of the Gospels and in the quotations of Scripture contained in the works of Aphraates and Ephraem.

	Modern Approaches To New Testament Textual Criticism
		Reasoned Eclecticism holds that the text of the New Testament is to be based on both internal and external evidence, without a preference for any particular manuscript or text type.
		This preference is based largely on Westcott and Hort's theory that the Byzantine text is a conflation of the Alexandrian and Western texts, and that the superiority of the Alexandrian text over the Western text can be shown through internal evidence.
		Therefore, adherents of this view consider the Byzantine text type to be an early and independent witness to the text of the New Testament.

		This text came to be known as the Textus Receptus or received text after being thus termed by Elzevir, an enterprising publisher from the Netherlands, in his 1633 edition of Erasmus' text.
		Although the majority of New Testament textual critics now favor a text that is Alexandrian in complexion, especially after the publication of Westcott and Hort's edition, there remain some proponents of the Byzantine text-type as the type of text most similar to the autographs.
		Among those who believe that the Byzantine text is only a secondary witness to the autograph, there is some debate concerning the origin of the Byzantine text and the reason for its widespread use and homogeneity.

	Demythologising NT Textual Criticism
		Thus, the distinctiveness of the Alexandrian text consists in scribal corruption inherited from its earliest era, however, in the great fourth century Alexandrian MSS we see a form of this text smoothed out and made as presentable as it was ever going to be.
		Thus, of the MSS that have an Alexandrian text it may be said, in the words of Mark's Gospel, 'neither did their witness agree together' (Mark 14:59).
		As evidence for their theory that the Byzantine text was an edited text based on earlier Alexandrian and Western texts, Westcott and Hort produced their famous 'conflation' argument: that there was evidence of the Byzantine text conflating ('joining') different readings found in the Western and Alexandrian texts.

		In distinction from both Alexandrian and Byzantine texts, the Western text-type consistently omits a series of eight short phrases from verses in the Gospel of Luke; the so-called Western non-interpolations.
		The Western text of the Epistles of Paul - as witnessed in the Codex Claromontanus and uncials F and G - does not share the periphrasistic tendancies of the Western text in the Gospels and Acts, and it is not clear whether they should be considered to share a single text-type.
		Nevertheless, the majority of text critics consider the Western text in the Gospels to be characterised by periphrasis and expansion; and accordingly tend to prefer the Alexandrian readings.

		Often, the base text is selected from the oldest manuscript of the text, but in the early days of printing, the copy text was often a manuscript that was at hand.
		The Westcott and Hort text, which was the basis for the Revised Version of the English bible, also used the copy-text method, using the Codex Vaticanus as the base manuscript.
		Among the other types, the Alexandrian is viewed as more pure than the Western, and so one of the central tenets of current New Testament textual criticism is that one should follow the readings of the Alexandrian texts unless those of the other types are clearly superior.

		The Western text is largely Latin; it is found primarily in the Old Latin and in a few Greek/Latin diglot uncials (in the Gospels, D/05; in Acts, D/05 plus a few versions such as the margin of the Harklean Syriac; in Paul, D/06, F/010, G/012).
		The family 1739 text of Paul is close to the text of Origen.
		This text has been attacked by other Majority Text advocates for its occasional use of stemmatics to determine its text (the use of stemmatics means that it prints a few readings which, although well supported, are not the reading found in the largest number of manuscripts).

		The fact that the fragment is from a codex testifies to the very early adoption of this mode of writing amongst Christians, in stark contrast to the invariable practice of contemporary Judaism.
		Furthermore, an assessment of the length of 'missing' text between the recto and verso readings corresponds with that in the counterpart canonical Gospel of John; and hence confirms that there are unlikely to have been substantial additions or deletions in this whole portion.
		P52 is small, and although a plausible reconstruction can be attempted for most of the fourteen lines represented, nevertheless the proportion of the text of the Gospel of John for which it provides a direct witness is necessarily limited, so it is rarely cited in textual debate.

		Within the chain of revision the believing community seemed to draw from the Byzantine text type, some form the Old Latin, and some Alexandrian and this ebbed and flowed during the revision process as more mss became available to those who could do the work, which I might add were a select few.
		Man reasoned with himself to say that the Alexandrian text type was essentially jaded by the Reformation and Post Reformation dogmaticians so they felt a need to re-examine the evidence.
		The post enlightenment pursuit of the Alexandrian text type is not consistent with the majority of the believing community from the pre enlightenment thus the post enlightenment had gone rogue from the pre enlightenment model.

		Peculiar teachings of the Alexandrians (such as Origen's alleged universalism in salvation) are investigated to see if these men altered the text of Luke to fit their theological leanings.
		In summary, the Alexandrians cannot be blamed for the defection of the Alexandrian text-type from some original source of purity.
		The critical text, this author believes leans heavily upon the Alexandrian text-type while the editions of the majority text are certainly Byzantine.

		In particular it is questionable whether their assumption of an earlier ‘pure’ form of the Western text is justified in view of the evidence of early ‘western’ papyri such as ∏29, ∏38, ∏48.
		It is notable that Ropes, a key defender of the originality of the Alexandrian text, suggested that ‘of any special point of view, theological or other, on the part of the “Western” reviser, it is difficult to find any trace’.
		This term has remained, despite the widespread recognition that numerous witnesses for this type of text are not from the West at all (something Griesbach was not unaware of).

		Twenty of these texts are prior to the eighth century, a dozen are of the sixth century, five of the fifth century, and two of the fourth.
		It is true that these same texts present a multitude of differences in details, but the variety and uncertainty to which that may give rise does not weaken the stability of the whole from a historical point of view.

		However, a minority position represented by The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text edition by Zane C. Hodges and Arthur L. Farstad suggests that the Byzantine text-type represents an earlier text-type than the surviving Alexandrian texts, possibly the result of an early attempt at textual criticism.

		Furthermore, to be skeptical of the resultant text of the New Testament books is to allow all of classical antiquity to slip into obscurity, for no document of the ancient period are as well attested biographically as the New Testament.
		Following are examples of these types of variants which can be seen by comparing a version based on the MT (or TR) with one based on the CT. The MT reading will be given first and the CT reading afterwards.
		Since the early scribes often read the text as they were copying from it, or the text was dictated to a room full of scribes, the reason for this variant is obvious.

		Metzger's text on the Versions makes it VERY clear that the textual tradition is mixed on most of the versions, INCLUSIVE of the Alexandrian text.
		Most scholarship seems to think that the Papyri are reflective of a type of the text which pre-dates the Alexandrian/Byzatine divergence.
