Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener

Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener, Dr. iur. utr. ( Born September 29, 1813 in Bermondsey, Surrey, † October 30, 1891 in Hendon, Middlesex ) was an eminent textual critic of the New Testament, Anglican priest and member of the committee that issued the Revised Version of the King James Bible.

After attending school in Southwark (1820-1831), he studied for four years of theology at Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduating in 1835 he became a teacher of classics at a number of schools (King 's School, Sherborne, Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset ). From 1846 to 1856 he was the principal of a school in Falmouth ( Cornwall). He also worked for 15 years rector of Gerrans, Cornwall.

A special name in the field of biblical studies he sets out through the processing of the Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis. Ambrose edited several editions of the New Testament and created collation of the Codex Sinaiticus with the Textus Receptus. For his contributions to the textual criticism and understanding of biblical manuscripts he has been endowed on 3 January 1872 with a life annuity of 100 pounds. He preferred the Textus Receptus as the source of Bible translations over the older manuscripts.

In 1874 he was Benefiziat of Exeter and Vicar of Hendon in London, where he remained until his death.
