The consonantal precursor of MT was often not given a name, and instead the term “textus receptus” was used. Thus Claudius Cappellanus (1667), Erhard Andreas Frommann (1761), Theodor Noldeke (1868), and Abraham Kuenen (1873) believed that the existence of this “textus receptus” in the first centuries CE can be proven from Scripture quotations in the New Testament and in rabbinic literature.2 In an insightful analysis, Justus Olshausen (1853) is aware that there were ancient Hebrew texts similar to the medieval MT in the first century CE.3

Thought for the day.
In the Latin usage of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a “textus receptus” was a standardised text, a consensus text that scholars could agree on when they wanted to engage with other scholars. The phrase “textus receptus” was originally used to refer to legal texts. If lawyers are going to argue about the details of a particular law, they obviously have to agree on the wording and the content of that law. When the Elzeviers called their edition a “textus receptus,” they simply meant that it presented a text that everyone could use as a standard reference in scholarly disputes. It certainly did not mean that it was “received” from God, or specially inspired over other forms of the text. To make such claims for a printed edition of a legal text would be absurd. Rather, the Elzevier/Heinsius editions accurately presented a text on which scholars, given the state of their knowledge of the history of the text at the time, had settled upon, and could agree upon as the basis for disputes.

BCEME - p. 138
The phrase textus receptus was not originally a theological term, but was used by early modern canon lawyers to designate a commonly accepted, and thus normative, form of a given legal text to which they could appeal in cases of dispute.75

Con esta elaboración se logró lo que se podría llamar «textus receptus», que acabaría con la variedad hasta entonces existente. La obra se imprimió en Salamanca, en la ya acreditada imprenta de Andrea de Portonariis, vigilando personalmente toda la impresión el mismo Gregorio López. Se hizo un ejemplar en pergamino con destino al Archivo Real, para que su letra hiciera fe en todos los casos de duda (21).


With this elaboration, what could be called "textus receptus" was achieved, which would put an end to the variety that had existed until then. The work was printed in Salamanca, in the already accredited printing house of Andrea de Portonariis, with Gregorio López himself watching over all the printing. A parchment copy was made for the Royal Archives, so that its handwriting would be faith in all cases of doubt (21)

Early developments in the phrase Textus Receptus.

In 1582 Gregory Martin published a document titled “A Discoverie of the Manifold Corruptions of the Holy Scriptures...” wherein he argues that the English Bibles done by “the Heretikes” are corrupt. Dr. William Faulke of Cambridge took up the charge of confronting Martin’s claims and published "A Defense of the sincere and true Translations of the holie Scriptures...” In the book Faulke gives a portion of Martin's accusations and then his response followed by another accustion and response. In Martin’s preface he had stated that the heretics did not agree with their own Greek texts, but they manipulate them to their favor. He points out Matthew 10:2 saying,
“Well, say we, if you will needs have it so, take your pleasure in choosing your text. And if you will stand to it, grant us that Peter was chief among the apostles, because your own Greek text saith, 'The first, Peter.' No, saith Beza, we will grant you no such thing; for these words were added to the Greek text by one that favoured Peter’s primacy. Is it so? then you will not stand to this Greek text neither? Not in this place, saith Beza.”

Faulke responds,
“In granting Peter to be the first, we need not grant him to be the chief; and if we grant him to be the chief, it followeth not that he is chief in authority. But if that were granted, it is not necessary that he was head of the church. And albeit that were also granted, the bishop of Rome could gain nothing by it.” He goes on to demonstrate that Beza did not say that the words were added but questioned if they might have been, while clearly defending them. Faulke also mentions that Beza defended the same words being added to Mark 3:16 while both the Latin Vulgate and the “common received text” did not include them.

This seems to be the first time the phrase “received text” is mentioned in print (At least in reference to the Bible. Martín de Azpilcueta in some of his printings includes the exact phrase “textus receptus” in Latin, but it is used in legal context not religious, as well as does Juan Gutiérrez.) and it appears to be in reference to the generally accepted standard Greek text against the opinion of Beza.

Another interesting use (although not in reference to Greek) is found in the documents relating to the French Synod of Alez which was held from October 1, 1620 to December 2, 1620. Diodati had been hoping that the Synod would grant their permission for him to print his revision of the 1588 Pastors and Professors of Geneva French Bible. Unfortunately the synod did not favor his enterprise and made it clear that they desired no new translation to be made. In their response though they did open the possibility of adding new annotations to the French Bible which they called, “the common received Translation”.

Then in 1633 in the preface to the Greek New Testament printed by the Elzevir Brothers is mentioned, “You [dear reader] have therefore the text now received by all in which we give nothing changed or corrupted.”
