Why this is in the register
HOLLIS searches for 'Vita Hilarii Honoratus Marseille' and 'Life of Hilary of Arles Honoratus translation English' return no English version: the modern renderings are French ('La vie d'Hilaire d'Arles', Paris: Cerf, 1995, in the Sources chretiennes series, Latin and French) and German (Kolon, 'Die Vita s. Hilarii Arelatensis', Paderborn: Schoningh, 1925). English-language anthologies of late antique hagiography that do exist - 'The Western Fathers' (Sheed and Ward, 1954) and 'Soldiers of Christ' (Penn State, 1995) - translate the Life of Honoratus, the Life of Martin and the Life of Germanus but not this Life of Hilary. The Latin text is in TEI in Corpus Corporum (Patrologia Latina, text idno 7556, 6,857 words, fetched HTTP 200).
Honoratus, bishop of Marseille, wrote this life of Hilary of Arles - the Lerins abbot who became bishop and dominated the Gallic church until Leo the Great withdrew his metropolitan rights, a turning point in Rome's relations with Gaul. The only related text available in English is Hilary's own Life of Honoratus (in 'The Western Fathers', 1954), so the biography of the more consequential figure is missing, and with it the contemporary account of the council of Orange and of the dispute with Leo.
