This is an updated edition, in paperback, of my 1992 hardback edition of
revised texts and translations [The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and
English Translations of Their Writings. J. B. Lightfoot and J. R. Harmer,
eds. and trans.; Michael W. Holmes, editor and revisor. Baker, 1992].  The
introductions and bibliographies are substantially revised and updated,
while typo's, etc., in the texts and translations have been corrected, and a
new witness or two added in to the critical apparatus for the Greek text.
The Greek and English are on facing pages.

The August pub. date is overly optimistic; I am expecting to receive page
proofs from Baker early next week.  Their fall 99 catalog lists an October
pub. date, which seems more likely.  If I may say so, I think this is a very
attractive price for a 600 page volume, which I hope will be of interest to
many on this list.
