A tight well-preserved 18th-century example of Father Gonnelieu's immensely popular French translation. ~KMP~ 2.0P A French version of the spiritual classic 'Imitation of Christ' translated from the Latin by Jerome de Gonnelieu 1640-1715 a French Jesuit theologian ascetical writer and preacher. He was the author editor and translator of numerous works. The first edition of his version of The Imitation with relevant observations and prayers following each of the book's many chapters was first printed in Paris in 1712. The Imitation was written by Catholic monk Thomas Kempis circa 1380-1471 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. There is probably no other book apart from the Bible which has been printed in so many editions and translations.
