Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo (2026-11-14) returns the commentary only in Latin: the 1530 Cologne print of the 'Enarrationes in quatuor libros Regum' and Migne PL 115, alongside an Italian study of the Luxeuil exegetical school and an Italian edition of the Canticles commentary. Filtering the eleven Angelomus records to English yields only two collective volumes (a handbook of Latin text transmission and a conference on early medieval biblical studies) and a monograph on the Song of Songs, none of which translates the Kings commentary. A French translation of a Genesis commentary ascribed to Angelomus exists (Cerf, 2010); there is no English equivalent. No English translation was located.

Angelomus' four books on Samuel and Kings are the Carolingian commentary on the historical books, compiled from patristic sources and used for the royal books that shaped Carolingian political theology. The work is read in Latin by historians of exegesis and is invisible to English readers.
