The Book of Revelation is a peculiar text whose special status in early Christianity is manifested by its manuscript attestation, transmission, literary references and discussions among early Church writers.

Its manifestation in manuscripts and in the lively controversy about its value and orthodoxy thus resulted in it being treated as unique.
