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
No English translation of the seven-book Book of Clement as a whole was found. HOLLIS Primo 'Qalementos Ethiopic' returns the Italian edition-translation of books 3-7 (Qalémenṭos = il Qalēmenṭos etiopico: la rivelazione di Pietro a Clemente, i libri 3-7, Napoli 1992) and the 2024 Peeters volume below, but no English monograph (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Qalementos%20Ethiopic&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 Coverage has just changed: The Apocalypse of Peter in Context (SECA 21, Peeters 2024) contains E. J. Beck, 'Translation of the Ethiopic Apocalypse of Peter including the Pseudo-Clementine Framework', and its publisher blurb in HOLLIS promises 'the first comprehensive English translation of the entire Ethiopic transmission context' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,The%20Apocalypse%20of%20Peter%20in%20context&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 That covers the Petrine core and its Clementine frame; the remainder of the Book of Clement is still untranslated into English.
Manuscript base in flux: Beta maṣāḥǝft still records a single witness, BL Orient. 751, but the same 2024 Peeters volume carries A. Bausi, 'On the manuscript tradition of the Ethiopic Maṣḥafa Qalemǝnṭos (Book of Clement, CAe 1957): news from Eritrea', i.e. further Eritrean manuscripts reported. Treat the 'single manuscript' situation as superseded and verify against Bausi's article before describing the work as a codex unicus. Genre note: it is an apocryphon that functions canonically, since the Ethiopic tradition transmits it inside the canonical corpus.
