HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Passio sanctae Agathae' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Passio%20sanctae%20Agathae&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns a single record, a German-Latin study of the Salzburg sermons (De Gruyter, 2016), with no English translation. The English-title search 'Passion of Saint Agatha English' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Passion%20of%20Saint%20Agatha%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns Aelfric's Old English passio as printed in Old English Lives of Saints, Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library 58-60 (2019), where 'Saint Agatha and Saint Lucy' is one item, together with an Italian-Latin-Old English study of Aelfric's Passione di S. Agata (Alessandria, 1993) and Karen Winstead's Chaste Passions, which translates Middle English virgin-martyr legends rather than the Latin acts (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Passion%20of%20Saint%20Agatha%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 An English translation therefore exists only in mediated, abbreviated form; there is no modern English translation of the Latin Passio sanctae Agathae itself, and the standard series were checked without result.
Agatha of Catania is the patron of the whole later Sicilian and southern-Italian cult, and her passio is one of the earliest Latin narratives built entirely around torture and bodily mutilation. English readers have only Aelfric's condensed version, which drops the Latin legal framing (the consular court, the interrogations) and the martyr's long prayer.
