Works
Works
André's writings are mostly in Latin. They are often typical contemporary Renaissance styles in thought and diction. His Historia Henrici Septimi was edited (1858) by James Gairdner, who noted André's chronicle of events in the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 was of somewhat limited value, because it was used "only as one of the very few sources of contemporary information in a particularly obscure period".
