There is no single "Alexandrian manuscript". Rather, there is a family of ancient New Testament manuscripts that are grouped together under the "Alexandrian" name. These manuscripts represent the oldest ones that have been found so far, and are considered by Catholic and Protestant scholars to be the closest to the original Autographs written by the apostles. In contrast, the Eastern Orthodox church follows a "Byzantine manuscript" tradition represented by the vast majority of all manuscripts, though on average these were copied centuries after the ones represented by the Alexandrian family. The most accurate Greek edition of the Alexandrian manuscript tradition is the Nestle-Aland 27th edition. The most accurate English translation is The Comprehensive New Testament. The documents all predate the establishment of the Vatican so contain no reference to it.
