No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work in question is a specific 12th-century Greek manuscript (Cambridge, University Library, MS Nn.1.23) containing orations and homilies by Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, and John Chrysostom. While the individual patristic works contained in the manuscript (such as Gregory's Theological Orations) have been translated into English from various Greek editions (notably in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series), no English translation exists that specifically targets or presents the text of this particular manuscript. Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs and manuscript databases confirm that this specific codex has not been the subject of a published English translation.

This manuscript preserves the rigorous theological defense of the Incarnation by three giants of the early Church. It forces the reader to confront the limits of logic when faced with the mystery of God becoming human.
