Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo 'Origen homilies on Job' returns nine records, none of them a translation of the homilies: they are Origeniana congress volumes, a 1498/1500s Latin 'Origenis super Job libri tres' incunable-style imprint, and general studies: https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Origen%20homilies%20on%20Job&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The variant search 'Origen homilies Job translation' likewise returns no English rendering: https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Origen%20homilies%20Job%20translation&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics volume of Origen on Job was located.

Two overlapping catena collections are catalogued separately: typus II (8,928 words, PG 17, La Rue 1857) and typus I+II from the Vatican codices (6,327 words, ed. J. B. Pitra, Analecta sacra II, Paris 1884). Extent given is the larger file; the two overlap and should not be added. Nothing of Origen's Job homilies is in English.

Existing translations recorded

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