 ====Primasius====
 [[Primasius of Hadrumetum]] (died 560 AD) studied the exegesis of the Greeks while at Constantinople, and his fame is chiefly due to his commentary on Revelation. This work, divided into five books, is of importance both as a witness of the pre-Cyprian Latin text of the Book of Revelation used by the North African church, and as aiding in the reconstruction of the most influential Latin commentary on Revelation, the exegetical work of the Donatist Ticonius.

			Erasmus' Vulgate from his 4th edition vs. Eramsus' own translation from his 1516:
			:V: Ego sum Alpha & ω: principium & finis, dicit dn̄s deus qui est & qui erat:
			:E: Ego sum alpha & Ω, principium & finis, dicit dn̄s deus, ꝗ est, & ꝗ erat
			2814 Greek vs. Erasmus' 1516 Greek
			:M: λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο ων
			:E: λεγει ο κυριος ο ων
			Explain how any reasonable person would assume Erasmus made a mistake in his Greek but meant his Latin translation, instead of him making the mistake in his Latin by simply having copied the Vulgate? His Greek doesn't even match the Greek of 2814 if he did use it (he added an o before κυριος.) From the sources available I think the latter is far more likely and logical.

In Erasmus' Annotations from 1527 he amended his footnote at Revelation 1:8 and compared his text to the Complutensian Polyglot, disproving the silly notion that he made an error in this verse, which he didn't check later on:

			It is a common anecdote that Erasmus only used one mss for Revelation. The ms Delitzsch found is mopst certainly not the one Erasmus used. Delitzsch' has six verses missing at the end of his ms whereas Erasmus only amended a “few words” from the Latin, (not 136 words) and was very clear about the words in 22:19 in which spotted parablepsis in verse 19 in the ''Greek'' which would be utterly impossible if he lacked 16-22. So as with most of the critical text study into Revelation, it is suspect from the beginning, and thus leads to illogical conclusions.
