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

PG 97's contents list gives, under Andrew, the separate items 'Canones et Triodia' and 'Idiomela' (https://archive.org/download/patrologia-graeca_202105/97.pdf). Only the Great Canon is available complete in English, in The Lenten Triodion (Mother Mary and Kallistos Ware, 1978), which prints it for Thursday of the fifth week; Neale (1862) prints isolated odes. HOLLIS Primo 'Andrew of Crete canon English translation' returns a monograph on the Great Canon (K. Lesniewski), Arvo Part's choral setting (Church Slavonic), and Daley's anthologies - no English edition of the canon corpus (checked 2026-11-13). HOLLIS 'Andrew of Crete idiomela' returns 0 records.

The Great Canon (Megas Kanon) is well served in English; the rest of Andrew's kanon production - festal canons and the 'Idiomela' listed separately in PG 97 - has no located English translation. The Lenten Triodion URL above is a catalogue query, because the record permalink was not captured.
