Why this is in the register
Beta Masaheft LIT1510GadlaY records three Ethiopic recensions (I literal from Arabic, II used among the Beta ʾƐsrāʾel, III a freer rendering) and cites only CAVT and Heide 2000 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BetaMasaheft/Works/master/1001-2000/LIT1510GadlaY.xml). Sparks 1984 translates the Sahidic/Bohairic Coptic Testaments, not the Ethiopic (https://archive.org/download/TheApocryphalOldTestamentSPARKS/The-Apocryphal-Old-Testament_SPARKS_djvu.txt). The Ethiopic and Arabic versions are edited and translated into German only, by Heide 2000 (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Heide%20Testamente%20Isaaks%20und%20Jakobs&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English translation of the Ethiopic Testament of Jacob located in HOLLIS.
Three recensions and a Beta ʾƐsrāʾel branch; the recension translated into French by Chaîne is unspecified in the sources consulted, so the recensional coverage of even the French rendering is uncertain.
