Writings

After Androzzi's death, his manuscript writings were prepared for publication by Francesco Adorno, rector of the Jesuit college in Padua, and were printed in Milan at the press of Pacifico Pontio in 1579, under the title ''Opere spirituali del R. P. Fulvio Androtio della Compagnia di Gesù''. This contained a meditation on the life and passion of Christ, a treatise on frequent communion, and a treatise on widowhood and the spiritual life. The collection went through many reprints between 1580 and 1626, in Milan, Venice and Naples, and individual treatises were translated into all the major languages of Western Europe. ;Editions and translations * ''Opere Spirituali'', vol. 2 ''Della Frequentia della Communione'' (Venice, Ziletti, 1580) * ''Devot memorial des saints mysteres de la mort et passion de nostre sauveur et redempteur Jesus Christ'', translated by
