Here you go! I'm not guaranteeing that the verses actually match up exactly between the English and the Latin, so there are no doubt rough edges. Note that the overwhelming majority of the time, the epistle is the same for the previous Sunday - though there are exceptions to this, and all of Lent is an exception. But this is the set of Thursday Mass readings from the 1613 Lutheran Magdeburg Cathedral Service Book.

Thanks Fr. Weedon! I definitely appreciate it. I'll have to print that out now!
I decided to do a comparison with the Missal in Lent. Here are the similarities:
The same Epistles are given for the Thursdays in Lent in both (save the day after Ash Wednesday.
The Gospels appear in this fashion. The Gospel given for Thursday after Ash Wednesday is given in the Missal for the very next day, Friday. Other than that, the Magdeburg Lenten Gospels do not appear in the Missal.
If one were to follow the full Roman schema for Lent, as well as the Magdeburg lessons, my suggestion is that the Magdeburg Gospel be read as the Last Gospel on the Thursdays, except on the day after Ash Wednesday, since as mentioned before, it is read the next day.
It would be interesting to see where these lessons might turn up in the schema used in the Flurheym Deutsches Messbuch, but that's a job for another day.
Many thanks again, Fr. Weedon, for providing us with this wonderful resource!

Ah, I forgot to mention that Magdeburg gives the same lessons as the Missal for Easter Thursday and Whit Thursday.
Brian
Ah, I can't seem to stop thinking and typing. Fr. Weedon, I have to ask, does this resource have Mass lessons for other days of the week than Thursday?
Brian
Yes. There are readings for every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. And, of course, readings for the various feasts and festivals besides.
Additionally it contains readings for daily Matins and Lauds and Vespers and Compline. The way it is presented,it appears that Matins and Lauds ran together and likewise Vespers and Compline. Usually the lesson was read in Latin at the first office and then the same lesson in German in the concluding office. But that appears to be basically a lectio continua approach. A chapter for each. So, for today, Tuesday after Trinity 1:
Matins: Psalms 38, 39; 1 Sam. 3 (Latin); Lauds 1 Sam 3 (German)
Mass: Colossians 3:5-11 (Latin) / Matt 5:18-20 (Latin)
Vespers: Psalms 121-125; 1 Sam. 4 (Latin); Compline 1 Sam. 4 (German)
Yet another odd feature is that often is appears that what we think of as the Sunday propers (Introit and Gradual) appear on the Tuesday, and another set appear on Sunday.
For example, Advent 1:
The Introit is Rorate Coeli! The Introit for TUESDAY of Advent 1 is Ad Te Levavi.
There is NO gradual for that Sunday - just the Alleluia verse and a sequence. Then for Tuesday there is the Gradual is Psalm 25:3 (None who wait for you will be put to shame).
It's all quite curious.
Fr. Weedon, it sounds like this book is something that should be translated into English and published, whether in The Bride (hey it needs to come out more often, and haven't you been putting a lot of this stuff in there recently?) or through Repristination Press, Lutheran Legacy, Emmanuel Press, or Redeemer Press. (That leads to the idea of merging all these small independent presses into one. . . .) I know I would love to see the whole thing. Maybe the Fort Wayne library has a copy?
Brian
Ben Mayes digitized it and I have a copy of that that I can send you if you send me your address. But it is a BIG file. Be warned!
Thank you, Fr. Weedon. I do appreciate it. Actually I just found it on the web, on Emmanuel Press's download site. Looks like the Lessons in the Missal are there.

Now if only somebody would put the whole thing, music and all, into English! . . .
This is fantastic. Thanks so much for posting it.
