The work is a 1624 German translation of a French conversion narrative by Pierre de Brillac (Vrillac), a Parisian advocate. Extensive searches in scholarly and general catalogs (UNESCO, Google Books, Open Library) found no evidence of an English translation of either the German text or the French original. Polemical pamphlets of this nature from the early 17th century were rarely translated into English unless they were by major figures, and no records exist for this specific author in English translation.
