status unknown. No translation field exists in the source catalogue. This is an unresolved case, not a confirmed gap.

Why this is in the register

Translation status could not be settled, so it is recorded as unknown rather than none. HOLLIS returns exactly one English-language item, Anni Maria Laato, Jews and Christians in De duobus montibus Sina et Sion: an approach to early Latin Adversus Iudaeos literature (Åbo: Åbo Akademi, 1998), which is a monograph on the treatise. The treatise is absent from the pseudo-Cyprianic appendix of Ante-Nicene Fathers 5. Whether Laato's monograph itself prints a complete translation could not be verified from the catalogue record, which carries no contents note.

An allegorical contrast between the two mountains of the title, one of the oldest Latin treatises written directly against Jews rather than against pagans, and therefore a key text for the history of Christian anti-Jewish exegesis in the West. Its date is disputed between the third and fourth century, and no verified Latin etext could be fetched for this survey.
