HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Translatio sancti Nicolai Bari' returns no record at all (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Translatio%20sancti%20Nicolai%20Bari&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 and the English-oriented search 'Translatio sancti Nicolai English translation Bari relics' also returns no record (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Translatio%20sancti%20Nicolai%20English%20translation%20Bari%20relics&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 A looser search for 'translation relics Saint Nicholas Bari' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,translation%20relics%20Saint%20Nicholas%20Bari&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns one English book: Gerardo Cioffari, Saint Nicholas: His Life, the Translation of His Relics and His Basilica in Bari (Bari: Centro studi nicolaiani, 1994). HOLLIS gives no contents note for that volume, so it could not be verified whether it contains a complete English translation of the 11th-century Translatio or only a paraphrase; the status is therefore recorded as unknown rather than none. No translation in a scholarly series was located.
The Bari Translatio (1087) is the text that created the modern western cult of Nicholas and the merchant-pilgrim economy of the Adriatic; it is also a rare Latin narrative of relic theft written from the thieves' point of view. Until its translation situation is settled, the register can only mark it as unknown.
