Excerpt from The Authorship of the De Imitatione Christi: With Many Interesting Particulars About the Book
The evidence is very voluminous; and though I have endeavoured to draw out the most salient points, and present them in as clear and concise a form as possible, the work has extended to a greater length than was at first designed.

Excerpt from The Authorship of the De Imitatione Christi: With Many Interesting Particulars About the Book
During a season of leisure, when free from parochial duties, and desirous of being usefully employed, I had formed the design of writing the Life of Thomas à Kempis, and had spent some time in collecting and arranging materials for it. Much of the celebrity of this pious individual arises from his being recognised as the author of the 'De Imitatione Christi,' and it was upon this assumption that I was preparing to write his life. I was well aware, however, that the fact had been warmly disputed, and that other persons had been acknowledged instead, and therefore I purposed to write an introduction to the Life, showing briefly the grounds upon which I had formed my decision that the priceless work of the 'De Imitatione' had been written by him.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the authorship of the classic devotional text, De Imitatione Christi, popularly attributed to Thomas à Kempis. Competing claims are made on behalf of several other individuals, among them Jean Gerson, Chancellor of Paris. The author carefully considers these claims and provides a detailed defense of the traditional attribution of the work to Thomas à Kempis. The discussion is thoroughly researched, drawing on a variety of manuscript and printed sources, many of which are examined in detail here for the first time. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the controversy surrounding the authorship of De Imitatione Christi, situating the debate within the broader context of 15th-century religious thought and practice. In doing so, it sheds new light on a central text in the history of Christian spirituality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331864059_0
