Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo 'catena in epistolam I Petri' and 'catena Petri apostoli' return no edition or translation of the Greek catena (2 and 3 irrelevant records respectively). Cramer's vol. 8, 'In Epistolas Catholicas et Apocalypsin. 1840', is the only printing, per the set's HOLLIS contents note. The Catholic Epistles catena is now being translated piecemeal: Martin C. Albl, The Catena to James (Brill, TENT 17, 2024) makes the James portion available in English 'for the first time in a modern language'; no comparable volume exists for 1 Peter. Greek text: Cramer, Catenae Graecorum Patrum in Novum Testamentum, vol. 8 (Oxford, 1840).

Because the James catena was published in English in 2024, the Catholic-Epistles chain is now half-translated in practice; 1 and 2 Peter, 1-3 John and Jude remain untranslated.
