The Gospels were taken directly from Codex 2^e, Acts and epistles from 2^ap, and Revelation from 1^r. Where these manuscripts had gaps, back-translations from the [[Vulgate]] were used. In fact, 2^e and 2^ap were sent directly to the printer for typesetting. Erasmus’ handwritten annotations can be seen between the lines, although the printer often ignored these. 1^r could not be treated this way because it mixes text and annotation. Erasmus separated these by referring to the Vulgate. As a result of this haphazard process, there were numerous typographical errors in the first edition.

Some 400 corrections were made for the second edition (1519). Erasmus obtained access to 3^eap, a nearly complete New Testament text. But there is no indication that he made much use of it. Many readers criticized the first two editions of TR because they lacked the [[Johannine Comma]] found in the Vulgate.<ref>"the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." ({{bibleverse|1|John|5:7–8|NKJV}}). Despite the Trinitarian controversy, no fourth century writer cites this passage. This suggests that it was not considered part of scripture at that time. Note from another editor: the preceding fact [http://av1611.com/kjbp/faq/holland_1jo5_7.html#_ftn1 is false]. It was cited by Cyprian (3rd century) and Priscillian (4th century), for example.</ref> Erasmus added it to the third edition (1522), citing Codex 61. This was a recently produced manuscript, and it was probably produced in response to TR. Although Erasmus was skeptical of this manuscript, he thought it wiser to reverse himself. For the 1527 edition, Erasmus made extensive revisions based on the ''Complutensian Polyglot'', a text edited by Jiménez de Cisneros and based on manuscripts kept at the Vatican library. A final edition was published in 1535.
