KJV was first published in 1611. It was translated from [[Textus Receptus]], a Greek text compiled by Erasmus in the 16th century on the basis of 12th century Byzantine manuscripts. Its position as the dominant English language translation was unchallenged until the 1970s. Modern translations such as the New Revised Standard Version (1989) use the Critical Text, which was originally compiled by B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort in 1881. This text is based on manuscripts of the "Alexandrian" type such as ''[[Codex Vaticanus]]'' and ''[[Codex Sinaiticus]],'' both of which date from the fourth century.
