IV. Livres de l'Imitation de Iesvs-Christ par Thomas a Kempis Chanoine Regulier

1629Best.-Nr. 50240Anvers Antwerp: l'Imprimerie Plantinienne 1629. Hardcover. l'Imprimerie Plantinienne. 64mo. Full black calf with raised bands brass clasps. 349pp. Illustration historiated woodcut initials. Very good. Binding worn but strong; center third of spine present while upper and lower thirds are crude but serviceable modern black calf replacements; internally tight and fully handleable. Quite intriguing near-miniature copy of this early French translation of the famed Christian devotional text "The Imitation of Christ" generally accepted as by German-Dutch cleric Kempis c. 1380-1471 and composed in medieval Latin around 1418-27. "Traduicts en francois du latin pris sur le manuscrit original de l'Autheur de l'an 1441" notes title page "Avec Ja Vie du mesne Autheur Recueille par Heribert Ros-vveyde de la Compagnie de Iesvs." Heribert Rosweyde 1569-1629 was a Dutch hagiographer with the Society of Jesus whose intent was to publish a large number of saints lives based on manuscripts found in Belgian libraries; he announced this intention and listed the works in a 1607 volume published by the Plantin Press in Antwerp; none of these grand plans were published by the time of Rosweyde's death for he was distracted by producing other religious and historical works such as this edition of "The Imitation of Christ." Publisher l'Imprimerie Plantinienne issued several editions of this title in the sixteenth century including one in Latin edited by Rosweyde in 1617 reissued in 1626 1627 and 1634 and a French edition in 1642; we find no reference to a Rosweyde French edition of 1629. Rosweyde introduces this edition and offers a brief biography of Kempis at the close while the bulk of the text consists of the four books chapters into which it is divided: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life" "Directives for the Interior Life" "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament." With its focus not on imitating Jesus Christ literally but rather on inner devotion and contemplation the book became wildly popular and hundreds of manuscript copies circulated before the advent of moveable type. The first printed edition was published in 1471-72 and before the end of the fifteenth century numerous editions had been published in eight languages. The unusual original binding dated shortly after its 1629 publication bears a crudely embossed large "PBB" and circular Jesuit "IHS" monogram on the front board and "1632" and this same monogram on the rear board. Surprisingly the dual brass clasps are present and functional. l'Imprimerie Plantinienne hardcover

It is bound with the continuation Soliloquium animae. the fourth booke of the imitation of Christ Kempis d.1471 was born in Kempen in the Diocese of Cologne but received his education at Deventer in the Low Countries where he came into contact with the Fratres Vitae Communis a majority lay confraternity founded by the Dutch deacon Gerard Groot a leading figure in the Devotio Moderna movement. Members took no irrevocable vows but lived according to the monastic principles of poverty obedience and chastity with all earnings put into a common fund. Having completed his studies Kempis joined the reformed monastery of the Augustinian Canon Regulars at Mount Saint Agnes near Zwolle where he was ordained priest in 1413 later becoming Sub-Prior in 1429. From here he wrote lives of Groot and his associate Florentius Radwyn and composed the four disparate mystical tracts together forming the Imitation which began to circulate in manuscript in the 1430s. The first printed edition appeared in 1473 and the first English-language translation in 1503 it has never been out of print since and remains a mainstay in the canon of Western literature.
