Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo 'Theodore of Mopsuestia On the Incarnation' and 'Theodore of Mopsuestia De Incarnatione' (2026-11-13) return no English translation: the only text edition is Till Jansen, 'Theodor von Mopsuestia, De Incarnatione: Überlieferung und Christologie der griechischen und lateinischen Fragmente einschließlich Textausgabe' (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2009), a German study with the Greek and Latin fragments; the only other English-language items are studies (McLeod 2009; Sullivan 1956). No volume in Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics.

The fragments are the primary evidence for the christology condemned in 553 and are heavily used in the modern Theodore debate, yet they are readable in English only in quotation inside monographs. The Migne volume is catalogued as containing Theodore's 'Fragmenta Dogmatica' together with the Minor Prophets commentary and the Genesis, Psalms, Job and Canticles fragments; the De Incarnatione extracts are transmitted within that dogmatic-fragment block, so the scan is the practical route to the Greek/Latin text but I did not verify the exact pages.
