L'imitation de Jésus-Christ by à Kempis Thomas
QR code
"L'imitation de Jésus-Christ" by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional book written in Medieval Latin around 1418–1427. Divided into four books of spiritual instructions, it emphasizes the interior life and withdrawal from worldly concerns, with devotion to the Eucharist at its core. Emerging from the Devotio Moderna movement, this anonymous work became immediately popular after its composition. Perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional text after the Bible, it has been
translated into more languages than any book except Scripture and printed in over 745 editions before 1650. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
