This is a forum for people with knowledge of the Bible in its original languages to discuss its manuscripts and textual history from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.
The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.

OK, you better lay down a rule for votes/day. Otherwise, I have two guesses now, and I may be tempted to give both before others get a chance.
I'll start with my first guess:
Tregelles.
Eric,
No need for rules. This one is too hard for anyone to guess.
By the way, Tregelles is a no. (broadly similar era and language/style; but Tregelles usually went for rather more positive and specific theological points when he made them).
Might it be Newman? Or perhaps Arnold?
no, no.
My first guess (sorry, Peter) would be Kenyon; my second, Scrivener.
This is from an essay titled: The History and Present State of New Testament Textual Criticism by Alfred Valentine Valentine-Richards, M.A.
Jan: no, no.
Shaun: yes. I confess I have never heard of him before I took a quick look at this essay the other day. Very important in the history of Cambridge mountaineering.
Peter,
Was it Westoctt?
Anonymous: no.
"What is Westcott?" Alex Trevek would be pleased though! An aspiring future Jepordy champion?
