Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Gesta episcoporum Autissiodorensium' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gesta%20episcoporum%20Autissiodorensium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns only two Brepols/MGH Latin excerpts (the section for 873-909 and a 13th-century continuation), with no English translation. The English-oriented search 'Gesta episcoporum Autissiodorensium English' returns no record (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gesta%20episcoporum%20Autissiodorensium%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The contrast is instructive: the Gesta episcoporum Cameracensium, a closely comparable text, has an English translation (Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai, Routledge, 2018) (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gesta%20episcoporum%20Cameracensium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 while the Auxerre series has none. No English translation was located.

The Auxerre gesta are the earliest sustained episcopal biography series in Francia and the model for the genre, combining saints' lives (Germanus, Amator) with a continuous institutional history down to the 9th century. An English reader has the Cambrai series but not the Auxerre one, which makes the genre's development invisible.
