Calvin said, in his commentary of the Gospel of John, regarding other Greek manuscripts:

"...in this almost all the Greek manuscripts, or at least those of them which are most approved, are found to agree..." (Calvin, Baker pub., p.30)

I think here Calvin is indicating that they were other Greek manuscripts that were not taken serious because they were found to be inferior compared to the approved Greek manuscripts.

I think such is stilled the case right now.
