Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo searches for an English Catecheses ('Theodore the Studite catechesis English translation') return 0 records, and 'Theodore the Studite epistulae letters' returns 0 English translations. The English volumes on Theodore cover only the iconoclast writings: On the Holy Icons (trans. C. P. Roth, Popular Patristics 6, SVS Press) and Writings on Iconoclasm (Newman Press, 2015). The Greek collections are edited as the Magna (Papadopoulos-Kerameus, 1904) and Parva (Auvray) catecheses.

No complete English translation of either catechetical collection was located; French and German translations exist (Les grandes catecheses, Bellefontaine 2002-; Petites catecheses, Paris 1993).
