Why this is in the register
HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Life of Saint Godehard' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Life%20of%20Saint%20Godehard&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns the German-Latin pair of lives (Geschichtschreiber der deutschen Vorzeit, 1858 and 1892) and German monographs only. The Latin text is available as a verified dMGH scan: the contents of MGH SS 11 list 'Vita Godehardi' at p. 162 (https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_11/index.htm). No English translation was located in HOLLIS or in the standard series.
Wolfhere wrote two lives of Godehard, and the second is a major document of 11th-century monastic reform, cathedral building and the Hildesheim scriptorium. It belongs with Thangmar's Bernward as a pair that English readers cannot read, even though Hildesheim's art is famous in English-language scholarship.
