Why this is in the register

Beta Masaheft LIT4636Chronicle lists a single edition, Basset 1882 ('Études sur l'histoire d'Éthiopie', Extrait du Journal Asiatique, Paris 1882), and no translation; Basset's study is in French (Beta Masaheft bibliography, bm:Basset1882Chronicle). Harvard does not hold it - HOLLIS 'Basset Etudes histoire Ethiopie' returns 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Basset%20Etudes%20histoire%20Ethiopie&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS 'Tewoflos' returns one record, an unrelated Amharic biography of the 20th-century patriarch Qadāmāwi Téwoflos, and no English version of the royal chronicle.

A short reign chronicle (1708-1711) of the turbulent years after Iyasu I's assassination; it belongs to the same Basset-edited group as Yosṭos (LIT4637) and Dāwit (LIT4639), none of which has any English translation. Included because it shows that even the brief Gondarine reigns, not just the long ones, are untranslated.
