Why this is in the register

HOLLIS 'eighth-century Gelasian sacramentary' returns exactly two records, and neither is a translation: Bernard Moreton's 'The eighth-century Gelasian sacramentary: a study in tradition' (Oxford, 1976), which is an analysis of the recension's transmission, and a general handbook, Eric Palazzo's 'A history of liturgical books' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,eighth-century%20Gelasian%20sacramentary&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The recension itself survives in a family of manuscripts whose interrelations Moreton's study analyses, and its texts are printed only in Latin editions. No English translation of the Frankish recension, and no English translation of any single manuscript of it, was located.

The recension that actually circulated in Carolingian Gaul: largely Gelasian with Roman material added, it is the form in which most Frankish priests met the Roman sacramentary, and the channel through which many Roman prayers reached the Frankish books. It has been studied far more than it has been read, and no English text exists; the absence is a structural hole between the Old Gelasian and the Hadrianum in any English-language account of the Latin liturgy.
