No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work 'Catalogi Librorum Manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae' (1697) is a massive, multi-volume reference catalog of manuscripts held in various libraries in England and Ireland. It is written in Latin and serves as a scholarly index. My searches across multiple catalogs (including local, Google Books, Internet Archive, and Library of Congress) confirm that no complete or partial English translation of this reference work exists. While individual biographies or specific manuscripts mentioned within it may have been translated elsewhere, the catalog itself has not been translated.

This volume is a massive, early attempt to rescue England’s forgotten history from the dust of neglect. It acts as a map for the scholar, revealing the vast, hidden collections of manuscripts that define the intellectual life of the seventeenth century.
