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

HOLLIS Primo (Harvard) retrieves no complete English translation of the letters: the only English-language item is A. Casiday, Evagrius Ponticus (Routledge, 2006), a selection-based sourcebook, while the Armenian version appears in CSCO (2022) and the complete Greek corpus was edited with a French translation by P. Gehin, Lettres: Lettre sur la foi; Corpus des 62 lettres; Grande lettre (Sources chretiennes, 2025). Sinkewicz's English 'Greek Ascetic Corpus' (2003) does not include the letters.

English access is through selected letters in Casiday's sourcebook; the 62-letter corpus now has a complete edition and French translation (Gehin, SC 2025) but no English counterpart was located.

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: no scan located. Checks made: PG 40 ('patrologia-graeca_202105', 40_djvu.txt HTTP 200) holds Migne's Evagrius dossier = 'EVAGRII PONTICI CAPITA PRACTICA AD ANATOLIUM' (line 99576) plus fragments and the editor's notices - no letter corpus at all (the 62-letter collection was assembled from manuscripts in the 20th century). IA searches returned nothing (no Evagrius letters item). BnF SRU 'Evagre lettres' = 7 records; the only complete corpus is P. Gehin, Lettres: Lettre sur la foi; Corpus des 62 lettres; Grande lettre, Sources chretiennes (2025), ark:/12148/cb47682904g, ISBN 9782204164412 - in copyright, unscanned. No DigiVatLib/LOC/HMML manifest could be tied to the corpus, so no manuscript witness is claimed.
