Why this is in the register

HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Vita Sturmi Eigil' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Vita%20Sturmi%20Eigil&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns only Pius Engelbert's German edition and study, Die Vita Sturmi des Eigil von Fulda (Marburg, 1968) and a Latin excerpt in the MGH database. Three English-oriented searches, 'Vita Sturmi English translation', 'Life of Saint Sturm Fulda' and 'Vita Sturmi Eigil Fulda English', all return no record at all (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Life%20of%20Saint%20Sturm%20Fulda&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English translation of the Vita Sturmi was located, and the standard critical edition (Engelbert 1968) is a German-language edition and study rather than a translation of any kind.

Eigil's Life of Sturm is the primary narrative of the foundation of Fulda, of Sturm's conflict with Boniface's Frankish patrons and of the abbey's early land grants; it is one of the few 8th-century lives written by someone who knew the subject. There is no English rendering at all, so Fulda's foundation story is accessible in English only through modern summaries.
