translated. A complete English translation exists. This dossier is included as a control, not as a gap; it shows what the register counts as translated.

Why this is in the register

NASSCAL e-Clavis (ECCA 195, CANT 80) lists a complete modern English translation: Christian H. Bull and Alexander Tsakos, 'The Book of Bartholomew', pp. 87-126 in vol. 2 of New Testament Apocrypha: More Noncanonical Scriptures (ed. Tony Burke; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2020), 'translation based on all available manuscript evidence' (https://www.nasscal.com/e-clavis-christian-apocrypha/book-of-bartholomew/). It also notes that Elliott 1993 (pp. 668-72) and James 1925 (pp. 147-52, 181-86) give summaries only. Budge 1913 provides the Coptic text with an English translation. The work is therefore fully translated; it is not a gap.

Included as a coverage check: the work has a complete modern translation (2020). Coptic Scriptorium's three TEI parts declare translation 'none' (no aligned translation), which is why it can look untranslated in corpus metadata.
