Antwort...auff acht fragstuck
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major scholarly catalogs (including local catalogs, Library of Congress, and general bibliographic databases) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Johannes Trithemius's 'Answer to Eight Questions' (or the German 'Antwort auf acht Fragen'). Given the nature of this 16th-century theological treatise, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
