What are the sources for the Apocryphal Acts module?
Answered
This is my best guess as to where to post this.
The Apocryphal Gospels and Apocryphal Apocalypses modules each come with a Read Me that documents where the Greek text and English translation came from. I could not find any comparable information for the Apocryphal Acts. Can anyone tell me where these texts and translations came from? I'm most interested in the Acts of Thomas at the moment.

FYI André-Philippe Therrien is one of our module developers, so this is an official communication from him.

Yes it looks like there is no read me for this module anywhere.
I copied this from the module info:
APOCRYPHAL ACTS GREEK
Apocryphal Acts (APOCACTS-T)
Based on Acta Apostolorum Apocrypha, 3 vols.
Edited by Maximilian Bonnet. Leipzig: 1891-1903.Electronic text prepared by James M. Tucker.

For the English translation:
APOCRYPHAL ACTS ENGLISH(APOCACTS-E)Apocryphal Acts (English)
Edited and/or translated by Rex A. Koivisto, Multnomah University, Portland, Oregon USA Copyright © 2011 OakTree Software, Inc.
Version 1.2
You can see the module info by right clicking in the module pane when it is open and selecting “About This Text…” from the contextual menu. You can also click on the “i” button next to the module in the Library.1 -
Thank you. I should have thought to check the module information. This is a complete answer as regards the Greek text, but it leaves questions open about the English. Which translations are new, which are edited versions of previous translations, and where did those previous translations come from? It would be great to have a Read Me to document this, though I suppose only Rex Koivisto could compile it.
