Why this is in the register

No English translation was located. HOLLIS returns no record for 'Eucherius Instructions to Salonium' at all (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Eucherius%20Instructions%20to%20Salonium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The work is included in the Latin-Italian Brepols edition of 2004 (ed. C. Mandolfo) and in the French Sources Chretiennes volume of 2021, 'Oeuvres exegetiques: Cles pour l'intelligence spirituelle, Instructions', whose contents note lists both parts (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 volume was found in HOLLIS, Princeton or the standard translation series.

The Instructions are Eucherius's systematic guide for his son Salonius: two books of exegetical rules and of the spiritual meanings of scriptural vocabulary. Together with the Formulae they were the standard Latin entry point to allegorical reading in the early Middle Ages, and both are missing in English. Corpus Corporum carries the Migne text of both works, so the Latin is available even though no translation is.
