弗雷德里克·斯克里夫納 （Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener, 1813-1891），英國的新約學者，英語修訂版聖經 委員會的成員。但他主張翻譯聖經的人使用拜占庭 文本 類型（ Byzantine text），而不是亞歷山大文本。他是第一個將公認文本 與拜占庭文本區分開來的人。他將伊拉斯謨 、司提反（1550 年）、貝扎（1565 年））的版本進行了比較，並列舉了所有差異。他曾經仔細地查考欽定版聖經 所用的公認文本 ，發現其譯者們主要跟從貝扎 1598年的版本，但也參考了羅伯特·司提反 的文本，此外也參考了武加大聖經 的版本。他發現欽定本聖經在190處地方與貝扎的文本不一致[1] [2] 伊拉斯謨 的版本中或是在《康普魯頓合參本 》中找到對應[3] [4] 約翰福音 10:16，希臘語是「合成一群」，但欽定本是「合成一圈」，與武加大譯本 "unum ovile"一致。再如，使徒行傳 9:6的前半句話「掃羅驚恐地說道，主，要我做什麼？」也是源自拉丁武加大譯本。
1881年，斯克里夫納出版了《根據欽定本所遵循的文本而製作的希臘語原文新約，連同修訂版所採納的異讀（1881）》 （The New Testament in the Original Greek according to the Text followed in the Authorized Version, together with the Variations adopted in the Revised Version, 1881），這就是現在人們所說的斯克里夫納版本的公認文本。
