St. Irenaeus: a 'modest' bibliography and select online resources

The opening title of this thread suggests to the reader that the following bibliography of Irenaeus will be a 'modest' one. By 'modest', I do not intend to imply that it will not be in a real sense comprehensive, but rather, that it will have certain limitations. The first limitation will be that other than editions of Irenaeus' writings in Greek and Latin, the rest of the bibliography will list only works in English (whether original or translations). Second, the bibliography will mainly focus on works that I myself have actual read (but not exclusively so). And third, there will be an emphasis on works that most readers will be able to obtain (with 'reasonable' ease) online, by purchase and/or through libraries. All this means, of course, that there will be a number of works not included in this bibliography—however, I am more than willing to add to the list suggestions made by readers in the combox. As for the "online resources", it will be a select list of websites on Irenaeus that have not been referenced in the bibliography.
