Editing Socrates of Constantinople (section)

===Editions and translations===
The ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' was first edited in Greek by [[Robert Estienne]], on the basis of ''Codex Regius'' 1443 (Paris, 1544); a translation into Latin by Johannes Christophorson (1612) is important for its variant readings. The fundamental early modern edition, however, was produced by [[Henri Valois|Henricus Valesius]] (Henri Valois) (Paris, 1668), who used the ''Codex Regius'', a Codex Vaticanus, and a Codex Florentinus, and also employed the indirect tradition of [[Theodorus Lector]] (''Codex Leonis Alladi'').

The text was edited in ''[[Patrologia Graeca]]'' vol. 67 (online at [http://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/04z/z_0380-0440__Socrates_Scholasticus__Historia_ecclesiastica_%28MPG_067_0030_0842%29__GM.pdf.html documentacatholicaomnia.eu]). The new critical edition of the text is edited by G. C. Hansen, and published in the series ''Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller'' (Berlin:Akademie Verlag) 1995. An English translation by A. C. Zenos was published in '' [[Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers]]'', Second Series, Vol. 2. Edited by Philip Schaff and Henry Wallace. (Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Publishing Co., 1890.)
