Thomas à Kempis
The Imitation of Christ
Translated by William Benham, 1874
What this is
Four short books of devotional counsel written in the Low Countries around 1420 and copied everywhere. After the Bible it is said to be the most widely translated book in Christendom, and its author did not put his name to it.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
