No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs, Open Library, and Google Books yielded no evidence of an English translation of the 1605 edition of 'Vaticinia seu praedictiones illustrium virorum' attributed to Joachim of Fiore. The search results only returned bibliographic catalogs and auction records mentioning the work, not translations of the text itself. Therefore, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
