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 Primo search 'John Italos quodlibetales' returns only Joannou's edition (Studia patristica et Byzantina 4, Ettal 1956), Greek with Latin, and no translation into any modern language. Italos is Psellos's pupil and successor as Consul of the Philosophers, so this is the direct continuation of the Psellos entries above. A scan of the series field across all 455 HOLLIS records returned for 'John Italos' shows no volume in the Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics series. No English translation was located (checked 2026-11-13).

93 questions on logic, physics, metaphysics and theology, the document at the centre of the 1082 heresy trial of Italos. No open e-text verified.

Existing translations recorded

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

Electronic text

No open electronic text was verified for this work. The Greek/Coptic/Geʿez may exist only in a print or subscription edition (Migne, CSCO, TLG, CMCL).

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: restricted scan — 1 candidate(s). Only one edition exists (Joannou 1956) and the single digitised copy is lending-restricted, so nothing is ingestible from here without the print volume. Migne does not help: the BnF record calls Joannou's volume the 'Editio princeps', and PG 122 (the only plausible host, Psellos) was downloaded and searched - 122_djvu.txt HTTP 200, 4.51 MB, 55 'Itali' hits all being Latin forms of 'Italia', none for John Italos. DigiVatLib's manuscript search answers HTTP 403 from this host, so no manuscript witness could be verified either.
