no English translation located. No published English translation of this text was located in the catalogues and series checked. Where only a non-English rendering or a translation of a daughter version exists, it is recorded below and does not close the gap. Treat this as a gap candidate, not as proof that no translation exists; the evidence names every source checked.

Why this is in the register

Beta Masaheft LIT1954Mashaf lists only Perruchon 1903 and Grébaut 1911 (bm:Perruchon1903Mysteres, bm:Grebaut1911Mysteres) plus a study (bm:Lusini2007Mestira) - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BetaMasaheft/Works/master/1001-2000/LIT1954Mashaf.xml. Harvard holds 'Le livre des mystères du ciel et de la terre', Paris: Firmin-Didot, 1903-1911, language fre;gez, creator 'Bakhayla Mîkâʻêl' - https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,mysteres%20du%20ciel%20et%20de%20la%20terre&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 . HOLLIS 'Mestira samay wa-medr' returns 0. No English translation located.

Beta Masaheft records seven witnesses, incl. BNF d'Abbadie 117 and 118, EMML 2161 (2r-101v), EMML 4532 (1r-45r), an abridged EMML 2229 (167r-174v) and a shorter EMML 7023. Not a single-manuscript text: multiple copies plus a shorter recension, so the gap is one of translation, not survival.
