No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Bodleian Library MS. Canon. Gr. 38 is a specific medieval manuscript (a Byzantine Gospel book) held by the Bodleian Library. It is not a published "work" in the sense of a literary or philosophical text that would have an "English translation." It is a primary source artifact containing the Greek Gospels, which are widely available in many English translations, but the manuscript itself—as a specific physical object and unique codicological entity—has not been "translated" into English. Therefore, no English translation of this specific manuscript exists.
