Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo 'Theodoret Haereticarum fabularum compendium' and 'Theodoret Compendium of Heresies' (2026-11-13) return no English translation: the only full rendering is the 2020 De Gruyter bilingual Greek/German volume 'Unterscheidung von Lüge und Wahrheit: Abriss über die üblen Märchen der Häretiker; Zusammenfassung der göttlichen Lehrsätze' (languages grc;ger), plus a 1990 English-language dissertation that analyses the work's heresiological method without translating it. No volume in Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics.

Five books cataloguing 100+ heresies from Simon Magus to the Monophysites, and the main source for Theodoret's own doctrinal position after 451; the Migne volume also carries the 'Demonstrationes per syllogismos', 'De providentia', 'Graecarum affectionum curatio', 'Libellus contra Nestorium', 'De Trinitate' and the letters, so a single scan covers several Theodoret texts. The Greek text has never had an English translator despite the work's importance for the history of heresiology.
