There is a new French translation as well that I just got from amazon.fr. I have only noodled with it, but it is a text that seems to me to deserve much more attention than it has traditionally gotten. It is in some sense the earliest Christian "novel", telling in the first person the adventures of pope Clement I, converted at Rome, traveling to Jerusalem, and then back to Rome with Peter. Not exactly a ripping yarn, but many, many points of interest.
