no English translation located. No published English translation of this text was located in the catalogues and series checked. Where only a non-English rendering or a translation of a daughter version exists, it is recorded below and does not close the gap. Treat this as a gap candidate, not as proof that no translation exists; the evidence names every source checked.

Why this is in the register

HOLLIS search 'Chronicle of Tocco' returns three records: Neville's Guide to Byzantine Historical Writing, a Brill volume of late Byzantine poetry, and Sansaridou-Hendrickx's 2008 Greek-language study of the chronicle (Greek text with English abstract). None is a translation; no English translation appears in Harvard holdings.

Vernacular Greek chronicle in political verse of the Tocco counts of Kephalonia and their rule in Epiros and the Peloponnese (c. 1370s-1420s); the main narrative source for late medieval Epiros and for Albanian and Italian involvement in Greece. Untranslated into English.

Existing translations recorded

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

Electronic text

No open electronic text was verified for this work. The Greek/Coptic/Geʿez may exist only in a print or subscription edition (Migne, CSCO, TLG, CMCL).

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: restricted scan — 1 candidate(s). This is the only witness of the chronicle (the edition, G. Schiro, Cronaca dei Tocco di Cefalonia di anonimo, Corpus fontium historiae Byzantinae 10, Rome 1975, is in copyright and not digitised). The edition's existence was verified independently in the BnF catalogue: SRU query bib.title all "Cronaca dei Tocco" -> 1 record, ark:/12148/cb35157753g, 1975, Accademia nazionale dei Lincei, series CFHB 10. Because the Vatican images are BAV-copyright, this is a restricted witness: the text must be transcribed from the IIIF viewer under a BAV permission, not downloaded. e-rara, MDZ and ONB were probed for the edition (see the source_checks block): none could be searched at item level in this pass, so no scan was excluded on their evidence - the Schiro edition is recorded only as a BnF catalogue record.
