Why this is in the register
Migne's Ennodius volume opens with the elenchus 'Ennodius. Epistolarum libri novem, Opuscula decem, Carminum libri duo', so the letter collection is nine books and is printed in full at Patrologia Latina 63 (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecur63mign). A library search under the author's name returns the 2022 Routledge translation of the poems (Bret Mulligan), a 1942 Catholic University of America translation of the Life of Saint Epiphanius, a 2026 'Panegyric to Theodoric', German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch studies and partial renderings, but no translation of the letters (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Ennodius&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 A complete French translation of the works, letters included, exists: 'Oeuvres completes de Saint Ennodius, eveque de Pavie' (1906). No English translation of the letters was located.
The nine books of letters are the densest surviving correspondence from Ostrogothic Italy outside Cassiodorus, and they are the main source for the Italian episcopate's dealings with Theodoric's court, with the Laurentian schism and with the land-owning aristocracy. English readers have Ennodius's poems and the Life of Epiphanius, but the letters - his largest work - only in French.
