About this Item
Description:
1889 Anson D.F. Randolph and Co. (New York), 4 3/4 x 6 5/8 inches tall blue cloth hardcover, no dust jacket, gilt on white decorations and ruling to front cover and gilt lettering to spine, all page edges gilt, xix, 299 pp. Very slight rubbing to covers. Otherwise, apart from very slight marginal age toning, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP38~ [1.5] This uncommon translation of the immortal devotional, Imitation of Christ, is a late nineteenth century version which uses 'rhythmic sentences' in an attempt to reproduce the author's original medieval Latin, drawing from Carl Hirsche's 1874 edit of the Latin autograph manuscript of 1441. Dr. Hirsche discovered that Kempis used a fairly unique system of punctuation, which was rhetorical rather than grammatical, serving to point out the periods of rhythm and the cadences and rhymes - i.e., intended to show pauses of greater or shorter duration to be observed in reading. This is why several early manuscript edition of the Imitation bear the same title used in this edition, 'Musica Ecclesiastica.' The preface to this edition was written by Henry Parry Liddon (1829-1890), a renowned English theologian. The Imitation of Christ 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.
