partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.
Why this is in the register
HOLLIS 'Bobbio missal' returns ten records. The Latin material is the Henry Bradshaw Society edition of 1917-1924 (facsimile by E. A. Lowe, text by Andre Wilmart), and the two text volumes are Latin only in their OCR (100 occurrences of 'Omnipotens', none of 'Almighty': https://archive.org/details/bobbiomissalgall0058cath). The one English attempt is Paul Berry, 'The Bobbio Missal, A.D. 700' (Edwin Mellen Press, 2010), whose HOLLIS description states that it 'contains a photographic reproduction of 100 selected pages from the codex, a printed version of these pages in modern typeface, and their English translation' - a selection, not the whole book (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Bobbio%20missal&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No complete English translation exists.
A single Irish-influenced Italian manuscript that preserves a Mass book of the Gallican family, including Masses for the ruler and its own eucharistic prayer. Its mixed Irish, Gallican and Roman features make it a key witness to how rites actually travelled, and the partial Mellen translation is both hard to find and insufficient as evidence for the whole book.
