I have been unable to find out whether the new testament part of the Bible in Basic English is translated from the 'Received Text' (*Textus Receptus*) or from the Westcott & Hort/Nestle Aland 'Critical' text. > The Bible In Basic English (also known as the BBE) is a translation of the Bible into Basic English. The BBE was translated by Professor S. H. Hooke using the standard 850 Basic English words. 100 words that were helpful to understand poetry were added along with 50 "Bible" words for a total of 1,000 words. > The New Testament was published in 1941 and the Old Testament was published in 1949.[1] Wikipedia - The Bible in Basic English
