De Imitatione Christi

The Imitation of Christ in Latin

I am proud to offer the Imitation of Christ (De Imitatione Christi) in the original Latin. This treasured work of Thomas a Kempis is now available in a economical, accessible format. There are many editions of English translations of the Imitation in print- take your pick!  Like any translation, the original meaning can become clouded or distorted depending on how literal the translation is.  Since Latin is a "second language" for Roman Catholics, it is fitting that we should find ourselves able to read the great spiritual work of Thomas a Kempis in the original Latin. I consulted several different Latin editions of this work before choosing this one, which was published by Desclee in 1902.  The host used for reprinting was a very small sized book and because of the manner in which it was originally printed, it was difficult to get a high-quality scan. Make no mistake- the edition I created is completely legible. A sample page file link is provided below, so you can look it over before you purchase.
