History

With the growth of textual criticism in the 18th and 19th century,[4] and particularly the rival eclectic text-type,[6] the Patriarch Constantine V of Constantinople created a committee in 1899[4] to examine the manuscript tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church.[6] The committee consisted of Metropolitan Michael Kleovoulos of Sardis, Metropolitan Apostolos Christodoulou of Stavroupoli and Professor Vasileios Antoniades of the Theological School of Halki, who personally studied the 45 texts from Mount Athos and Constantinople.[4] The commission aimed for the creation of a standardized New Testament in the Greek Language to reconstruct the ancient documents from the Church's ecclesiastical history.[6]

The Patriarchal text was published in 1904.
