Rod, check the Sources Chretienes collection from France for a critical
edition, remembering that most of Irenaeus' extant texts are in Latin, not
Greek. This collection offers some of the best critical editions of early
church history texts available. If a less exact edition is suitable, the
Loeb Classical Library editions from Harvard would be affordable for students
and offer the original language with an English translation on the facing
page.
