Where do you say the modern versions come from?

No, the KJV was derived from 5210 MSS (99%) of 5255 MSS; MVs were derived from 45 MSS (1%) of 5255 MSS. MVs favored the Alexandrian family of MSS.

Please explain how you arrived "the KJV was derived from 5210 MSS". I have read that the majority of the total MSS were not discovered until years the AV was published, and that Desiderius Erasmus only had a handful in 1516. I am not familiar with this data.

IOW my question is, How many Greek MSS had been discovered before 1611? Does any one know how many have been discovered since 1611? Does this mean that any MSS discovery after 1611 is useless?
