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

Budge 1915 contents leaf: 'XII. A Discourse on the Archangel Gabriel by Celestinus, Archbishop of Rome. Coptic Text 300 / Translation 872' (https://archive.org/details/miscellaneouscop00budguoft); the English is pp. 872-892 and is the only one located. HOLLIS 'Gabriel archangel Coptic discourse' = 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gabriel%20archangel%20Coptic%20discourse&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No SCRIPTORIUM TEI for this text (the SCRIPTORIUM 'pseudo.celestinus' corpus holds the Encomium on Victor, a different work), no CSCO/Gorgias/Brill translation.

Extent not measured (no machine-readable Coptic text; Budge's text runs pp. 300-320). Note that the same codex preserves a Ps.-Celestinus encomium on Victor, which Coptic SCRIPTORIUM has digitised (3 parts, c.22,760 tokens) - a different work, translated only by Budge 1914.
