Decalogue editions?



Not really.  Unless one were to count it as scribal publication, the original
Decalogue was a manuscript, fire-etched on what was supposed to be a lasting
medium.  The second instance was not a second edition, but a transcription of
the first ms. state.  The tools necessary to inscribe the text had always (and
will always be) set up.  That is, if one follows such things.
