Why this is in the register
HOLLIS queries 'Bede commentary on Mark English' and 'Bede In Marci evangelium' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Bede%20In%20Marci%20evangelium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 return the Latin Corpus Christianorum edition (SL 120, 1960) and exactly one modern translation, the Italian Commento al Vangelo di Marco (Città nuova, 1970); no English translation of the Mark commentary appears in any Harvard record. The neighbouring Gospel commentary, on Luke, was published in English in 2023 (TTH 85; https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Bede%20commentary%20on%20the%20Gospel%20of%20Luke&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 which shows that the omission of Mark is a real gap in the Bede translation programme rather than a bibliographic accident. The Latin text is printed with the Luke commentary in Migne PL 92, and I confirmed the 'IN MARCI EVANGELIUM' headings in that scan (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecursu0092mign).
Bede's only verse-by-verse treatment of Mark, and one of the four Gospel commentaries that anchored early medieval preaching; it is the exegetical channel through which patristic Mark exegesis reached Anglo-Saxon and Carolingian readers. Only Italian readers have a modern complete version. English readers are limited to fragments quoted in catenae such as the ACCS volume on Mark.
