Zustand: Good. In French. 1940 signed and inscribed first edition Librairie Plon (Paris), 4 3/4 x 7 3/8 inches tall paperbound in grey wraps printed in black and red ink, xii, 234 pp. Light to moderate foxing, staining, rubbing, edgewear and edge tears to covers, with a bit of creasing to tips. Chipping and tearing to one inch of lower edge of rear cover and last few pages adjacent to spine. On the half title page, nicely inscribed and signed by the author, French economist and attorney Maurice Lewandowski (1868-1940), in the year of issue, which was the same year he died. Moderate uniform age toning to pages. A number of unopened signatures, easily remedied with a paper knife or paying card. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean and unmarked - of this scarce issue, quite rare signed. ~TTT~ In French. An exploration of the debate over the true author of the spiritual classic, The Imitation of Christ, by French economist and lawyer Maurice Lewandowski (1868-1940). French scholar, educator, reformer, and poet Jean Charlier de Gerson (1363-1429), Chancellor of the University of Paris, was once one of the leading contenders in the academic debate over the authorship of the Imitation. Though there was no definitive resolution, the debate has largely been settled in favor of a Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471), who appears to have written (or at least copied) the work as four separate books completed between 1420 and 1427, at Mount Saint Agnes monastery, in the town of Windesheim, located in what is now the Netherlands. He wrote these works for the instruction of novices of his Augustinian monastic order, followers of Geert Groote's Brethren of the Common Life. But the writings quickly became popular among all the literate faithful. They were copied together in one manuscript as early as 1427, by Kempis, and copied (and later printed) together fairly consistently thereafter. Soon after hand-copied versions of the Imitatio Christi initially appeared, the printing press was invented, and it was among the first books after the Bible to be printed.
