Although the overwhelming majority of later minuscule manuscripts conform to the Byzantine text-type, detailed study has, from time to time, identified individual minuscules that transmit the alternative Alexandrian text. Around 17 such manuscripts have been discovered so far and so the Alexandrian text-type is witnessed by around 30 surviving ...
[9]: 823 [n 1] Biblical scholar Bart D. Ehrman says this reading is an Orthodox corrupt reading. [10] Due to its affinities with š¯”“ 46 and Codex Vaticanus, scholar G. Zuntz concluded, "[w]ithin the wider affinities of the ‘Alexandrian’ tradition, the Vaticanus is now seen to stand out as a member of a group with P46 and the preancestor of ...
These are regarded as "a closed class of sources" i.e., non-Byzantine Greek manuscripts such as the Alexandrian texts, or manuscripts in other languages such as Armenian, Syriac, or Ethiopian, are regarded as "outside the closed class of sources" providentially protected over time, and so not used to compose the New Testament text.

Textual criticism has been practiced for over two thousand years, as one of the philological arts. [4] Early textual critics, especially the librarians of Hellenistic Alexandria in the last two centuries BC, were concerned with preserving the works of antiquity, and this continued through the Middle Ages into the early modern period and the invention of the printing press.
Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, two of the great uncial codices, representatives of the Alexandrian text-type, are considered excellent manuscript witnesses of the text of the New Testament. Most critical editions of the Greek New Testament give precedence to these two chief uncial manuscripts, and the majority of translations are based ...
Generally omitted by Alexandrian text-type, but included by Byzantine text-type. [19] Most scholars think that inclusions of this phrase in later manuscripts are probably a result of harmonisation attempts with Mark 5:26 rather than a Lukan rewriting of the Markan original, especially because προσαναλωσασα is a hapax legomenon.

The manuscript is a codex (the forerunner to the modern book) made from 773 thin, fine, and very beautiful vellum folios (specific name for pages in a codex: 630 in the Old Testament and 143 in the New Testament) measuring 12.6 × 10.4 inches (32 × 26 cm), bound in quarto format (parchment leaves placed on top of each other, folded in half ...
The Golenischev (or GolenišÄ¨ev) papyrus is a fragmentary illuminated papyrus in which the Alexandrian World Chronicle is attested. It has been dated to various periods between the 5th and 8th centuries, though the consensus now dates the text to the c. 6th-century; [2] It has been conjectured that the papyrus belonged to a very wealthy patron, due to its lavish illustrations.
