No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major library catalogs (Library of Congress, Open Library, Google Books, Internet Archive, and scholarly databases via OpenAlex and UNESCO) yielded no record of an English translation for this 1784 German Masonic text. Given its nature as a localized, anonymous 18th-century rulebook and discourse, it is highly unlikely that a translation exists.
