Here is the question you wrote.
Who actually authored Revelations? I've looked and can't seem to find it anywhere?
And when was it written?
In the Bible there exist a book called Revelation and it is of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the author of this book and all the others books contained in the whole Bible.
The apostle John whom Jesus Christ when He hung on the cross gave to His mother as son. Mother, behold your son, son, behold your mother.
Although it was ordered that John write down all that he sees, he was just the scribe of Christ.
As for the year that all this took place. It was during the reign of Emperor Domitian 96 AD.
None of this information is hidden from us, thank God.
Sometimes you need to work to uncover the truth.><>

After a short introduction (ch. 1:1–10), it contains an aThe first sentence of the book, The Revelation of Jesus Christ ... unto his servant John, is also sometimes used as a title.[2]
ccount of the author, who identifies himself as John.
The author of Revelation identifies himself several times as "John" (1:1, 4, 9; 22:8). The author also states that he was in exile on the island of Patmos when he received his first vision (1:9; 4:1–2). As a result the author of Revelation is referred to as John of Patmos. John explicitly addresses Revelation to seven churches of Asia Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea (1:4, 11). All of these sites are located in what is now Turkey.
Traditional views held that John the Apostle — considered to have written the Gospel and epistles by the same name — was exiled on Patmos in Aegean archipelago during the reign of Emperor Domitian, and that he wrote the Revelation there. Those in favor of a single common author point to similarities between the Gospel and Revelation. For example, both works are soteriological (e.g. referring to Jesus as a lamb) and possess a high christology (e.g. Jesus as "Lord of lords", God's son, etc.). What is most telling, however, is that only in the Gospel of John and in Revelation is Jesus referred to as "the Word of God" (Å Î»Î¿Î³Î¿Ï ÏοÏ

The author identifies himself as John [Rev.1:1,4,9] and the best dating available puts the date of authorship around 54-68 AD

It is Revelation, singular.
John authored it.
There is debate over whether or not it is the same John who wrote the Gospel of John.
Written sometime between 68 and 96 A.D.

John of Patmos. Don't have the dates, sorry. It was basically a political manuscript/tract depicting the vileness of Emperor Nero so it would be during Nero's reign.

It is the apostle John who was with Jesus and wrote the Gospel of John.
No debate - please don't listen to the above.
He lived the longest of all of the disciples. All of the others were executed for their faith. John was exiled to the Greek Island of Patmos and there received the Book of Revelation from God, some 30 years after Jesus ascended - around 65 A.D.

The Book of REVELATION was authored by John on the Island of Patmos (spelling?) through visions given to him by God.

It was written a long time ago by some dude who was really strung out on coke like Freud, Poe, Omar Kayam or what ever. He was so stoned he forgot his name. He was really trippin. Those who read it and understand it are usually tripping too but most are trippin over money.
