In response, Andrada wrote the five-part ''[[Defensio Tridentinæ fidei]]'',<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=lGM8AAAAcAAJ Defensio]'', 716 pp., free on Google Books.</ref> which was published posthumously in 1578. However, the ''Defensio'' did not circulate as extensively as the ''Examen'', nor were full translations initially published. A French translation of the ''Examen'' by Eduard Preuss was published in 1861. German translations were published in 1861, 1884, and 1972. In English, a complete translation by Fred Kramer drawing from the original Latin and the 1861 German was published beginning in 1971.
