De Coelesti Hierarchia
Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
Pseudo-Dionysius's 'De caelesti hierarchia' (The Celestial Hierarchy) is a foundational work originally written in Greek. While numerous English translations of the Greek original exist, there is no evidence of a translation into English specifically from the Latin version (such as the one found in the 1498 edition or the c.1300 manuscript). In the context of medieval studies, translations of the Greek original are distinct from translations of the Latin versions that were widely circulated in the West during the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
