HOLLIS 'Hincmar predestinatione English translation' returns nothing, and 'Hincmar Reims predestination' returns four records, none of them a translation of this treatise: the Stone and West 2015 collection of studies, the 2010 Genke-Gumerlock anthology of Gottschalk texts, a French conference volume on double predestination (Turnhout 2018), and a 2022 Brepols 'Arnobius Iunior, Praedestatus'. The Genke-Gumerlock contents note shows that the only Hincmar texts it translates are his letters (to the monks of his diocese, to Amolo, to Rudolph and Frotarius, to Pope Nicholas, to Egilo) and the sentence of the Synod of Quierzy. The two books against Gottschalk themselves are not translated anywhere I could find; the Latin is printed in Migne, Patrologia Latina 125, where 'DE PRAEDESTINATIONE' appears repeatedly in the running heads of the OCR text.
This is the government-side case of the predestination controversy: Hincmar's attempt to hold Augustinian grace, episcopal authority and imperial order together against a monk he had already had flogged and imprisoned. Without it a reader has Gottschalk's arguments in English but not the reasoning by which the Frankish episcopate condemned them, which makes the 2010 anthology look like a one-sided debate.
