English exists for one form of the text: Ante-Nicene Fathers 8 prints 'Revelation of Paul' at p. 575 (https://archive.org/details/antenicenefather08buff), and Elliott 1993 carries 'The Apocalypse of Paul (Visio Pauli)' in its appendix (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Apocryphal%20New%20Testament%20Elliott&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The three long Latin versions were critically edited by Silverstein and Hilhorst (Apocalypse of Paul: A New Critical Edition of Three Long Latin Versions, Geneva: Cramer, 1997), a 212-page volume with 54 plates whose HOLLIS record carries the language codes 'lat;grc;eng' but gives no contents note stating that an English translation of the Latin texts is included (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Apocalypse%20of%20Paul%20three%20long%20Latin%20versions&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The later Latin transmission is catalogued in German (Jirouskova, Die Visio Pauli, Brill 2006), and the recent Brill edition translates the Sahidic Coptic, not the Latin (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Visio%20Pauli&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English translation of the individual long Latin redactions was located, so coverage of the Latin apocalypse is partial.
The Visio Pauli is the most important Latin visionary text before Dante: its tours of hell and paradise supplied the imagery of medieval otherworld literature from Bede to the vernacular visions. English readers have one or two forms; the long Latin redactions in which the text actually circulated cannot be read, and no open electronic text of them was verified.
