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
Beta Masaheft LIT4646Chronicle (5 witnesses: Bruce 88, BL Orient 821, BNF Éth. 143, FSU Or. 38, BNF Abbadie 118) records a single edition, Perruchon 1893 'Les Chroniques de Zarʾa Yâʿeqôb et de Baʾeda Mâryâm' (Bibliothèque de l'École pratique des hautes études 93), which is ed., tr. into French; its translation list is empty. Harvard holds that edition and catalogues it as '(texte éthiopien et traduction)', language fre (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Perruchon%20chroniques%20Zara%20Yaeqob%20Baeda%20Maryam&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The only English is L. Haber, 'The Chronicle of the Emperor Zara Yaqob (1434-1468)', Ethiopia Observer 5/2 (1961), 152-169, an article-length excerpt cited in Beta Masaheft's bibliography (bm:Haber1961ZaraYaqob). HOLLIS 'Zara Yaqob chronicle' returns one record, an Amharic edition (Addis Ababa 2014); no English book-length translation.
Zarʾa Yāʿqob (r. 1434-1468) is the emperor who reorganised the Ethiopian church and state; his chronicle is one of the first substantial royal chronicles of the Solomonic dynasty and a primary source for the 15th-century expansion and for the Marian cult. No complete English translation exists; the 1961 Ethiopia Observer piece is an excerpt in a popular magazine.
