Descripción del artículo del vendedor

1822 William Storer / Gray & Hewit, Printers (New Haven, Connecticut) 4 1/8 x 6 3/4 inches tall leather covered boards, gilt ruling and burgundy leather gilt-lettered label to spine, 8vo., 210 pp. First thus (American Imprints 9093), first printing of the Imitation in Connecticut (Shoemaker 9094, Parsons 778). Covers are scuffed, rubbed and bumped. Both front and rear hinges are cracked but hold firm.

The Imitation (or De Imitatione Christi) was written in the fifteenth century in Latin by Augustinian monk Thomas a 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 monastic order, followers of Geert Groote's Brethren of the Common Life.
