No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly catalogs (including local catalogs, Google Books, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Hans Lietzmann's 'Messe und Herrenmahl' (1926). While the work is frequently cited in English-language liturgical scholarship, it appears that the original German text has not been translated into English. The metadata provided in the prompt suggesting a 1953 translation by Dorothea H. G. Reeve appears to be incorrect or refers to a different work.
