The Andreas text-type is a form of the text of the Book of Revelation found in some manuscripts of Revelation, it is named after Andreas of Caesarea (563–614), whose manuscript followed this text-type.[1] The Andreas text-type has also been called a subtype of the Majority Text in Revelation, which is divided into the Koine form of Revelation and the Andreas type of Revelation.[2]
Manuscripts belonging to the Andreas text-type are primarily found in manuscript of Andreas' commentary although there exists Andreas manuscripts which do not contain the commentary.[3]
Andreas manuscripts form one third of all Greek manuscripts of Revelation.[4]
Witnesses
[edit | edit source]Andreas' commentary is among the oldest Greek commentaries on Revelation.[5] Most subsequent Eastern Christian commentators of the Book of Revelation have drawn heavily upon Andrew and his commentary,[6] which was preserved in about 100 Greek manuscripts,[7] and translated into Armenian, Georgian, and Slavonic.[8] His commentary was so influential that it preserved the specific Andreas text type of Revelation.[7]
The earliest possible witness to the Andreas text-type in Revelation is from the Codex Sinaiticus revisor, who seems to have followed the Andreas text-type.[9] Schmid numbered around 83 witnesses to the text, these include unicials such as 25, 88, 205, 209 and 632. [3]
The Andreas text was used by Erasmus in his creation of the Textus Receptus due to the usage of Minuscule 2814 and thus the text of Revelation in most Reformation-era translations follows the Andreas text-type.[10]
