partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.

Why this is in the register

Mingana, Woodbrooke Studies III (Cambridge: Heffer, 1931), pp. 93-449, prints and translates the Arabic 'Apocalypse of Peter', but the translation is partial (pp. 100-52, 215-82, 356-407; the intervening pages are manuscript photographs); it is the only English version listed for this material in NASSCAL's Book of the Rolls entry, which treats the Apocalypse of Peter as part of the same complex (https://www.nasscal.com/e-clavis-christian-apocrypha/book-of-the-rolls/). HOLLIS 'Arabic Apocalypse of Peter' returns this volume and secondary literature, with no other English translation (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Arabic%20Apocalypse%20of%20Peter&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

Included as a 'partial translation' entry. This is the Arabic recension, distinct from the Greek/Ethiopic Apocalypse of Peter and from the Coptic Nag Hammadi Apocalypse of Peter (NH VII,3), which has modern translations. NASSCAL classifies the Arabic material with the Book of the Rolls (ECCA 950), not as a separate ECCA entry.
