Wouldn't the accepted dating of P52 be problematic to this idea?

Maybe that in addition to some editorial work/literary expansion on the Pauline corpus?

Is such a thing even possible? Is there an historical chain of custody for these works that can be identified prior to Ireneaus?

Just wondering...

The historical chains of custodianship were wrought
in the fourth century by Eusebius in the forges of
the christian emperor Constantine -- very lavishly.

These chains have never been lifted off the landscape
of BC&H to examine the record of their impressions in
the period you are interested in (ie: Ireneus).

Very pavlovian.
