	A collation against the first edition of Stephanus, 1546, reveals that in 38 passages the editor here rejected the Complutensian reading in favor of that if Erasmus, whereas the converse occurs only twice. These two Stephanus printings (1550, 1551) were utilized by the translators of the New Testament for the 1611 King James Bible and became cited as the fundament of the 1633 “Textus Receptus” Greek New Testament printed by the Elzeviers in Amsterdam.

			This edition was widely reprinted for centuries as the "Textus Receptus" of the Greek New Testament, upon which later translations (including the King James) are based. This was also the first printed Greek New Testament with a critical apparatus. The book is additionally of enormous typographical significance. Robert Estienne held the office of royal printer and this is his masterpiece, a luxurious folio printed using all three sizes of Claude Garamond's fine Greek fonts. The main text is printed in Royal Garamond and production of the font was paid for by King Henry II. (Armstrong 52) Robert Proctor said of this Greek type that "it was, and is, by far the best type of its kind that has ever been cut.for evenness of colour, for precision of casting, and for the exactness of alignment and justification, these founts are unsurpassed." (Updike 237)

	:“Upon his (Stephanus’) petition to his high-minded patron, Francis I., (The king of France) he was accommodated with the use of fifteen MSS. from the royal library; out of these, and some one private MS., he formed the text of the “O mirificam,” of 1546. (Stephanus’ first edition) This stock he nearly doubled while he was preparing for the glory of his life, the folio of 1550; and when the text of that splendid edition had been formed from it, he selected seven of the fifteen royal MSS. and six of the private, numbered 2-14, to give opposing (I.e. variant) readings to his first volume (the Gospels and the Acts) which together with those of one of the previous editions, (The Complutensian) No. 1, are given in the inner margin. As a sufficient number of these thirteen MSS. contained the epistles of St. Paul, and the remainder of the third part of the sacred text (the catholic epistles) there was no alteration made in the opposing materials for giving various readings thus far, in the second volume. But in the Revelations (the 4th part of the sacred text) all the thirteen of the first selection failed. A new selection then became necessary, and No. 15 was taken out of the royal MSS., and No 16 out of the private MSS., with the printed edition, (The Complutensian) to furnish opposing (I.e. variant) readings to the new text, there. A reading or two was given from each of the two last selected MSS., in the previous part of the work, probably (as I have imagined) to shew that the royal MS., No. 15, contained the whole of this second volume; (Viz. the Pauline epistles) and that the private one, No. 16, contained the whole New Testament. The original set of MSS. then amounted to little more than half of what were obtained in the whole, for the text of the folio; and exactly half of that set, (viz., eight of the royal MSS.) and about one half of those that were obtained afterwards, together with the Complutensian print, made up the set that was taken first and last to oppose (I.e. give variants for) the text of the folio in the marginal readings. Such was the theory of a pamphlet (By Huyshe) entitled “Specimen of an intended publication &c”, (London, 1827) namely, that Stephanus had fifteen MSS. from the royal library, but that he had, in all, 16 MSS., “posterioribus diebus,” (“At a later date”) for the first edition of 1546; that these were increased, as might naturally be expected, by his keeping his son so long searching the libraries of Italy, to thirty, and more, for the folio; (Viz. the Editio Regia of 1550) and that a selection was made out of the whole, to furnish opposing (I.e. variant) readings in the margin. ”		:“Upon his (Stephanus’) petition to his high-minded patron, Francis I., (The king of France) he was accommodated with the use of fifteen MSS. from the royal library; out of these, and some one private MS., he formed the text of the “O mirificam,” of 1546.
