A modern textus receptus

The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2018 [LINK]
by William Pierpont (Author), Maurice A. Robinson (Editor), and John Jeffrey Dodson (Contributor)

"The present volume displays the Greek New Testament according to its historically dominant transmissional form, known as the Byzantine Textform. In view of the significance of this text throughout the centuries, this compact edition should be of value to student and scholar alike for academic, personal, and ministerial purposes.

Most modern critical editions of the Greek New Testament present an eclectic form of text that primarily represents the localized Alexandrian-based manuscripts. Other available editions exhibit forms of the so-called Textus Receptus or the lectionary-based Patriarchal (Antioniades) version of the Greek Orthodox Church. In contrast, the present edition reflects the regularly utilized consensus found among Greek continuous-text manuscripts that span the extensive geographic realm of the Byzantine Empire throughout at least its thousand-year history."

The New Testament In The Original Greek Byzantine Textform (2005) by Maurice A. Robinson & William G. Pierpont
Robinson and Pierpont have applied many of the same methods of textual criticism to their task, but without the anti-Byzantine bias. Their method of "reasoned transmissionalism" is based on the wider scope of manuscript transmission throughout history.

Differing methodologies in the texts.
The 2005 text would be a critical text 'without a Byzantine bias', the 2018 text is a consensus text (preserved families of texts).

It would be an interesting study to observe the differences between the two texts base.
