One of the oldest and most interesting relics of the extant New Testament Apocrypha, is the Acts of St. Paul and Thecla. They were first edited by Grabe in his Spicilegium, Oxford, 1698 (2d ed., 1700); again by Tischendorf in his Acta Apocrypha, Leipzig, 1851; and more recently by Lipsius, who together with Bonnet, published a new edition of Acta Apostolorum Apocrypha, 2 Vols. 1891–1903.
