Why this is in the register

Budge 1915 contents leaf: 'XVI. The Discourse on Saint Michael the Archangel by Timothy, Archbishop of Alexandria. Coptic Text 512 / Translation 1021' (https://archive.org/details/miscellaneouscop00budguoft); English at pp. 1021-1033, the only complete rendering located. HOLLIS 'Michael archangel Coptic encomium Timothy' returns 1 record, J. E. Walters (ed.), Eastern Christianity: A Reader (Eerdmans 2021), a multi-tradition anthology (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Michael%20archangel%20Coptic%20encomium%20Timothy&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 its contents list as seen in HOLLIS does not name this homily, and an anthology excerpt would in any case not be a complete translation. No CSCO/Gorgias/Brill translation.

Extent not measured. Distinguish from the Ps.-Timothy 'Discourse on Abbaton', which SCRIPTORIUM has digitised and Budge translated (Coptic Martyrdoms, 1914).
