Kleine Schriften des Gottseligen Thomas von Kempis, translated and edited, in its eleventh edition, presents a collection of the minor writings by Thomas Kempis, a central figure in the Devotio Moderna movement. This compilation offers insights into the spiritual and theological perspectives of Kempis, complementing his more famous work, "The Imitation of Christ." These writings reflect the ascetic and mystical traditions of the late medieval period, providing readers with guidance on cultivating a deeper relationship with God through prayer, meditation, and virtuous living.
This edition preserves the original German text, maintaining the historical and literary value of Kempis's work for scholars and spiritual seekers alike. The enduring appeal of Thomas Kempis lies in his ability to articulate timeless spiritual truths in a simple yet profound manner, making his writings relevant for centuries.
