Coptic · domain: homilies · researched 2026-11-13

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

The SCRIPTORIUM TEI header records 'translation: none' (https://data.copticscriptorium.org/texts/pseudochrysostom/encomium-on-raphael-the-archangel-budge-ed/), but that states only that no English was digitised: the volume's contents leaf (https://archive.org/details/miscellaneouscop00budguoft) gives 'XVII. Encomium on the Archangel Raphael by Saint John Chrysostom (incomplete). Coptic Text 526 / Translation 1034', and the English is printed at pp. 1034-1042 of Budge 1915. Budge himself marks the text incomplete. HOLLIS 'Raphael archangel Coptic encomium' = 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Raphael%20archangel%20Coptic%20encomium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No modern translation, no CSCO/Gorgias/Brill edition located.

Only a fragment survives: Budge's text breaks off and is headed 'incomplete'; the SCRIPTORIUM TEI has 3,242 Coptic word tokens (extent estimated at c.1.3 English words per token). This is the clearest case in the corpus of an English version that exists only as an early-20th-century rendering of a fragmentary text.
