A text of the Infancy Gospel of James?
Does any have a live URL for the Protoevangelium of James?

Look at http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/infancyjames.html. Some links are there. The first text was found in 1958, (the year I was born), so most likely, there is no public text of a book before 1923 on the net.

There may be an earlier text according to "A compleat history of the canon and writers of the books of the Old and New Testament, by way of dissertation with useful remarks on that subject", by Louis Ellies Du Pin:Louis L Sorenson wrote:Look at http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/infancyjames.html.

Is this the same text, or something different?

Re: A text of the Infancy Gospel of James?
The Protevangelium of James (or proto-gospel of James) has been known for centuries. We have hundreds of manuscripts, as I recall, and it wends its way through all sorts of other Christian Apocrypha. The earliest Greek manuscript dates back to the fourth century, there are scads from the 10th-17th centuries, as well as editions in Latin, Syriac, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, and even Georgian.
Infancy Gospel of James is a title that, as I understand it, has only recently been used as an alternative to protevangelium or proto-gospel.
Tischendorf has the Greek; you can likely find a copy on archive.org. Look for Evangelia Apocrypha, which has several of the apocrypha in Greek and Latin.
Here's a little more about the Protevangelium of James from a post I wrote for the Logos Bible Software blog two years ago (Moderators, if including this link is bad form, please feel free to delete it.) : https://blog.logos.com/2012/12/joseph-in-the-matrix/

Actually, I have Tischendorf (1853) with me here in (re-)print.RickBrannan wrote:Tischendorf has the Greek; you can likely find a copy on archive.org
Thanks evey(one) for those references.
