HOLLIS 'Alcuin De fide Trinitatis English' returns one record, the 2012 Brepols Corpus Christianorum edition Alcuini Eboracensis De fide Sanctae Trinitatis et de incarnatione Christi; Quaestiones de Sancta Trinitate, which prints the Latin with an English introduction but no translation. 'Alcuin Trinity English translation' returns nothing relevant. The treatise is printed in Migne, Patrologia Latina 101, whose OCR carries the headings 'DE TRINITATE' and 'de Trinitate'. No English version in the Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or any other series was located.
This is the systematic theology of the Carolingian renewal, written for Charlemagne's court as a handbook of orthodox trinitarianism and used for centuries as a school text; it is also the clearest witness to how the Frankish church understood the filioque it had just begun to chant in Jerusalem. Its absence in English means the theological content of the 'Carolingian renaissance' is known mainly through Alcuin's letters and educational works, not through his doctrine.
