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

HOLLIS author search 'Gregoras' (126 hits) lists Guilland's French edition of the Correspondence (1927), Leone's Epistulae (1982-83), the CSHB Greek-Latin Byzantina historia (Bonn, 1829-55, 3 vols), and French, German, Greek and Spanish studies; no English translation of the Romaike Historia in any record. Targeted searches 'Gregoras English translation history' and 'Nikephoros Gregoras Roman history English' returned only unrelated volumes. The CSHB text is a public scan on archive.org, so the Greek is fully available while the English is not.

37 books covering 1204-1359, the other great 14th-century narrative alongside Kantakouzenos and the only Greek account of the Hesychast controversy from the losing side. Never translated into English in any form, full or partial; the Bonn edition carries a Latin version only.

Existing translations recorded

None recorded in English. Non-English versions, where they exist, are named in the evidence above.
