Why this is in the register
The only edition is a Greek critical edition: 'Joseph the Hymnographer: kanones on saints according to the eight modes: critical edition' (Lit Verlag, 2018; Byzantinistische Studien und Texte 12), whose publisher description says the edition 'aims to determine the original text of groups consisting of eight kanones each' - a text-critical aim, not a translation: https://hollis.harvard.edu/permalink/f/1s5nto6/alma99153683812603941. PG 105 prints only four Joseph items - the Vita by John the Deacon (col. 931), the Mariale (978), the Canon in terrae motus periculo (1415) and the Laudatio in S. Bartholomaeum (1422): https://archive.org/download/patrologia-graeca_202105/105.pdf. HOLLIS Primo 'Joseph Hymnographer English translation' returns a single Festschrift ('Leimon'), and 'Joseph the Hymnographer' returns editions in Greek, Italian ('Nuovo Ottoeco') and Romanian ('Canoane de rugaciune') but no English translation (checked 2026-11-13). Neale (1862) has a section 'Joseph of the Studium' with the Ascension canon and centos of a few others, which is the only English sampling located.
This is the largest single gap in Byzantine hymnography: Joseph is the most prolific canon-writer of the tradition, his kanon production dominates the Menaia, and the 2018 critical edition of those cycles has no translation. What English exists is the Triodion material (Lenten Triodion) and Neale's handful of Victorian versions.
