Andrada (Diego de Payva d'), or Andradus, a learned Portuguese, born at Comtumbria, who distinguished himself at the council of Trent, where king Sebastian sent him as one of his divines. There is scarce any Catholic author who has been more quoted by the Protestants than he, because he maintained some opinions a little extravagant concerning the salvation of the Heathens. Andrada was esteemed an excellent preacher. His sermons were published in three parts, the second of which was translated into Spanish by Benedict de Alcoran. Many encomiums have been bestowed upon Andrada. Olorius, in his preface to the "Orthodox Explanations of Andradus," gives him the character of a man of wit, vast application, great knowledge in the languages, with all the zeal zeal and eloquence necessary to a good preacher; and Rufweidus says, that he brought to the council of Trent the understanding of a most profound divine, and the eloquence of a consummate orator.
