Jasper, R.C.D. & Cuming, G.J. (1990). "Ch. 30: Hermann von Wied: A Simple and Religious Consultation 1545." (pp. 219-225). In Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed. 3rd Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press. (Personal Library)
Jasper and Cuming categorize von Wied as a capable administrator who became sympathetic to the Reformers by 1542, while serving as the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 219). In consultation with Bucer, Melancthon, and numerous others by way of comparison of liturgies, von Wied produced a church Order, distributed privately in 1543, publicly in 1544, then in Latin in 1545 and English in 1547. Though the order was never used widely, it did serve as an important source for Cranmer's 1548 Order of Communion and his 1549 Prayer Book.
Jasper and Cuming view von Wied's communion as both "Lutheran" (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 219) and "traditional" (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 220). There are only two departures from the Roman rite, both in the various prayers, neither of which were actual innovations, as they were prayers used in other liturgical sources.
After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 220-221), Jasper and Cuming provide an English translation of the eucharistic portions of the rite.
