Why this is in the register

No English translation was located. HOLLIS on 'Eucherius of Lyon formulae spiritalis intelligentiae' returns the Latin text with Italian translation (Brepols, 2004, 'Formulae spiritalis intelligentiae; Instructionum libri duo', ed. C. Mandolfo) and, decisively, a French Sources Chretiennes volume of 2021 that renders both works: 'Oeuvres exegetiques: Cles pour l'intelligence spirituelle, Instructions' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Eucherius%20of%20Lyon%20formulae%20spiritalis%20intelligentiae&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English record appears. Searches for 'Eucherius Instructions to Salonium' and 'Eucherius Lyon instructiones English' return no records at all (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Eucherius%20Lyon%20instructiones%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

Eucherius's handbooks of allegorical meanings — of biblical names, numbers, animals and objects — are the practical key to Latin allegorical exegesis and were mined by medieval writers for centuries. The French editors of 2021 treated them as a coherent exegetical corpus; English readers have neither part, and the standard dictionaries of allegory cite Eucherius from the Latin.
