Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo 'Catena in Acta' (2026-11-13) returns 6 records: Cramer's 1838 Greek edition (two records), an English commentary on Acts (not a catena) and conference volumes. HOLLIS 'catena on the Acts of the Apostles English' returns 0 relevant records. No English translation of the Acts catena exists in any standard series; the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume on Acts (2006) is a modern selection of translated fragments, not a translation of the Byzantine catena. Greek text: Cramer, Catenae Graecorum Patrum in Novum Testamentum, vol. 3 (Oxford, 1838).

At c. 120,000 Greek words this is the largest single untranslated catena in the First1KGreek corpus. The edition's subtitle 'Catena Andreae' carries the traditional name of the collection; the compiler's identity is not established here, and the name does not refer to Andrew of Caesarea's Revelation commentary.

Existing translations recorded
