Why this is in the register

Latin only: C. Conti Rossini (ed. and tr.), Vitae Sanctorum Indigenarum I: Gadla Marqorēwos seu Acta Sancti Mercurii, CSCO, Scriptores Aethiopici II, 22 (Paris 1904); HOLLIS gives language 'lat;gez' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gadla%20Marqorewos&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English version: 'Marqorewos Dabra Demah English' = 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Marqorewos%20Dabra%20Demah%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 A separate 1976 Italian volume on the passion and miracles of St Mercurius (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Marqorewos&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 treats the Greek/Latin dossier, not this Gəʿəz gädl.
