no English translation located. No published English translation of this text was located in the catalogues and series checked. Where only a non-English rendering or a translation of a daughter version exists, it is recorded below and does not close the gap. Treat this as a gap candidate, not as proof that no translation exists; the evidence names every source checked.

Why this is in the register

HOLLIS 'Pseudo-Isidore English translation false decretals' and 'false decretals Pseudo-Isidore English' both return no translation; the latter yields a single German Gedenkschrift for Klaus Zechiel-Eckes (Harrassowitz, 2015). The Latin is available in Paul Hinschius's edition, Decretales pseudo-Isidorianae et capitula Angilramni (Leipzig, 1863), which is on archive.org in several copies; that edition is the one every study cites. Nothing in the record set suggests an English rendering of the decretals or of the Capitula Angilramni, complete or partial, has been published.

The False Decretals supplied the papacy with a battery of invented early letters and, more importantly, a theory of appeals to Rome that reshaped the church's constitution; every later canonical collection, including Gratian, absorbs them. With Benedictus Levita they are the great untranslated mass of ninth-century canon law, and their absence in English keeps a forged corpus at the foundation of a legal tradition that is taught as if its documents were real.
