Die Urfassungen der Martyria Polycarpi et Pionii und das Corpus Polycarpianum: Band 1: Editiones criticae. Mit armenisch-deutschem Text und englischer #x000DC;bersetzung. Band 2: Textgeschichte und Rekonstruktion. Polykarp, Ignatius und der Redaktor Ps.-P

Using ancient Armenian versions, it has been possible to retrieve the original Greek short version of both martyrologies. The textual layers can be interpreted as a mirror of the norms of Christian behavior during the period of persecution. The critical editions are followed in Volume 2 by a textual history and reconstruction.
