In 1550, Stephanus produced a beautifully printed edition that added footnotes containing text from the Bezae and Regius codices. This is considered the classic edition of TR and is referred to as ''Editio Regia''. In 1551, Stephanus added a verse numbering system that is still used in modern Bibles. As for the text itself, Stephanus did little to improve on what Erasmus published.

In 1551, Stephanus added a verse numbering system that is still used in modern Bibles. For the Greek text, Stephanus consulted the later editions of TR by Erasmus.

The KJV translators consulted a 1598 reprint of ''Edito Regia'' by Theodore Beza as well as several other editions. The ''Scrivener New Testament'' (1894) reconstructs the underlying Greek text they used. Scrivener found only 190 verses where KJV did not correspond to Beza text.<ref name="Greek"/>

In the early 19th century, Karl Lachmann developed a methodology which allowed a critic to determine which manuscript variants are likely to be closer to the original. He assigned manuscripts to various text types. In 1850, Lachmann published a Greek New Testament based on ''Alexandrinius'' and other manuscripts. This was the first major challenge to the dominance of TR as a biblical text.
