Description:

This is the facsimile of Erasmus' third printed edition of Greek New Testament published in 1522. Colophon to Apocalypse contains the date 1522 but the Introduction says 1518. It contains both the Greek and the Latin (Erasmus' own translation) texts in parallel columns.

This is the first printed edition of Greek NT to contain the Comma Johanneum (1Jo5:7-8), howbeit in a rather unusual form. You can see for yourself by turning to page 590 when your book arrives.

This edition was used by Tyndale for the first English New Testament (1526), by Stephanus as a base for his 1550 edition and by the translators of Geneva Bible and KJV.
