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

Coptic Scriptorium corpus shenoute.abraham (7 fragments, 6,915 Coptic tokens): 317 of 318 verse segments carry a full English working translation credited to Rebecca Krawiec and Heike Behlmer — a complete free rendering of the surviving fragments, but not a published translation (https://github.com/CopticScriptorium/corpora/tree/master/abraham). Brakke & Crislip 2015 chapter list has no chapter for Canon 3.2 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/selected-discourses-of-shenoute-the-great/6068E50E3138AA2FE45C8A34894C0206). HOLLIS any,contains,'Abraham our father' returns no Shenoute-related record (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Abraham%20our%20father&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

CMCL: 'Canon 3.2 (Abraham, Our Father)'. The Coptic Scriptorium English is the only complete English rendering located; it is a project translation, not a peer-reviewed publication. The Latin CSCO translation (Wiesmann) is recorded in the HOLLIS record for Sinuthii archimandritae vita et opera omnia (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Sinuthii%20archimandritae%20vita%29.&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 translation_status refers to English. extent_words counts Coptic word tokens in the Coptic Scriptorium corpus, not English words.
