Imitations of Christ by Thomas A Kempis

Seeing if any one knew anything about this book or it’s value. Thank you.

 

We need to see a closeup, in focus, of the publisher's name and any date printed on the title page or its reverse.

It is a book that has been published in many, many editions since the 15th century.

Since I am a Dutch theologian I know the book 'De imitatione Christi', but you are probably asking about this edition specifically, rather than its theological background and value? In that case I can't help you, sorry. It is just interesting to me that such a significant Dutch theological book should appear here.
I am sure others will be along later.

 

I have found one example of the same edition offered for sale on abebooks.com. It was published as a 4-volume set. The seller describes the condition of his set as "Fair", meaning there are some noticeable flaws, and has it priced at $40.

Do you have any of the other volumes? The volume you show appears to have water damage, and other significant damage to the binding. A single volume from a 4-volume set, in poor condition, will have little value.

 

plenty around.
the Germans love their tellers of fairytales.

the value is spiritual, not monetary ! vade retro satanas.
on the outskirts of Jerusalem they have an own ward for Jesuses, perhaps make a donation to them.

 

This book was already written down in the early 15th Century.



You know you have an important book when there is a Wikipedia page for it:

I don't think your book has any monetary value.

 

wow. really ???

Even Mein Kampf is a really important book in history (although it is full of nonsense, hate and unreadable...)

 

both are reactionary nonsense. the world would be much nearer to a good place without these two extremists.
and without the people still supporting that nonsense.

 

I fully agree, but it makes them not unimportant in world history.
