The Martyrdom of Polycarp

The church of Smyrna's account of Polycarp's arrest and death, about 155 CE — the earliest detailed martyrdom account outside the New Testament.

The Martyrdom of Polycarp runs to 22 chapters, 24 passages. The whole of it is held here and free to read, searchable by reference or by the words in it.

The edition held here is Ante-Nicene Fathers, in English, in the public domain, from Wikisource (Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. I).

It sits on the estate's shelf of 106 sacred works, beside the complete Douay-Rheims Bible, an atlas of the places named in scripture, a timeline and a genealogy.
