Polycarp’s letter is only partially preserved in original Greek. For chapters 10-13, we still rely on the Latin translation. Interest in manuscripts waned at the end of the 19th century when the original text was traced back to only one manuscript that was considered the best. The three articles in the present study aim to show that the quest for the original text is far from over and that locating the later manuscripts in their own context is an interesting adventure.
