Why this is in the register

HOLLIS 'Sedulius Scotus English' returns sixteen records: complete translations of his political tract De rectoribus christianis (Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies, 1983; Boydell, 2010) but for the Pauline commentary only two partial items. Michael C. Sloan, The Harmonious Organ of Sedulius Scottus (De Gruyter, 2012), translates the prologue and the commentaries on Galatians and Ephesians, as its title states, and a Peeters volume of 2026, Collectaneum in Apostolum: ad Romanos, is catalogued with English and Latin. The remaining letters of the corpus, and the collection's other books, have no English rendering that these records disclose, so the work is covered only in part.

Sedulius, an Irish scholar working at Liege, compiled a Pauline catena that preserves Greek patristic exegesis otherwise lost in the Latin West, which makes it the most interesting exegetical work of the mid-ninth century. The piecemeal English coverage leaves a reader unable to follow the commentary across the corpus or to see how Sedulius handled the contested passages on grace that were convulsing the Frankish church at the same moment.
