What is Erasmus and the Comma Johanneum about?

This document discusses the history of the inclusion of the Comma Johanneum passage in editions of the New Testament edited by Desiderius Erasmus. It notes that the commonly told story of how Erasmus promised to include the passage if a single Greek manuscript could be found, and then did so, may not be entirely accurate. The document analyzes this story in the historical context and raises some difficulties with it based on a lack of evidence in early textual critics.
