In 1627, the patriarch of Constantinople presented the manuscript to King Charles I of England. Beginning with Wettstein in 1730, scholars noticed that the text of Alexandrinus was older than that of [[Textus Receptus]], the standard Greek text of the time, and significantly different from it. Textus Receptus is the source text used by the translators of the King James Version. The text of Alexandrinus was published in 1786 by Carl Gottfried Woide.
