According to Bruce Metzger Erasmus was missing only the last page (leaf)
of his single 12th cent. Greek manuscript for Revelation. The six verses
on this leaf he supplied from the Latin Vulgate. Erasmus also used the
Vulgate to supply his text of Revelation in a few other places (how
many?) where the Greek text was confused because the explanatory
glosses were mixed in with the text. See Metzger, Text of the NT, 2nd
ed. p. 99.
