→Erasmus: add Vulgate
==Erasmus==
==Erasmus==
Erasmus, a Dutch Catholic, published the earliest version of TR in Basel in 1516. Erasmus had produced a new Latin translation of the New Testament. He added a Greek text to his book as an afterthought, a tool to support his Latin translation. It was put together hurriedly, and on the basis of whatever manuscripts happened to be available locally. Yet this text struck a chord with a reading public hungry for access to the original. Erasmus used the following manuscripts to produce Textus Receptus:

It was put together hurriedly, and on the basis of whatever manuscripts happened to be available locally in Basel. Yet this text struck a chord with a reading public hungry for access to the original. Erasmus used the following manuscripts to produce Textus Receptus:
:*Codex 1<sup>eap</sup> This 12th century miniscule contains the entire New Testament except Revelation. It is the only TR manuscript not of the Byzantine type. Erasmus made little use of it as he believed it to be corrupt.
:*Codex 1<sup>eap</sup> This 12th century miniscule contains the entire New Testament except Revelation. It is the only TR manuscript not of the Byzantine type. Erasmus made little use of it as he believed it to be corrupt.

Erasmus did little in the way of textual criticism. His Gospels are taken directly from Codex 2<sup>e</sup> , Acts and epistles from 2<sup>ap</sup>, and Revelation from 1<sup>r</sup>. In fact, 2<sup>e</sup> and 2<sup>ap</sup> were sent directly to the printer for typesetting. Erasmus’ handwritten annotations can be seen between the lines, although the printer often ignored these. 1<sup>r</sup> could not be treated the same way because it mixes text and annotation. Erasmus sorted these out by referring to the Vulgate. As a result of this haphazard process, there were numerous typographical errors in the first edition. However, most of these were corrected in a second edition issued in 1519. There were subsequent editions in 1522, 1527, and 1535.
