About This Item

Contemporary French calf gilt, sides with triple gilt border and central gold-blocked arms of Alexandre Angélique de Talleyrand-Perigord (variant of Guigard I:368), cardinal and archbishop of Reims (1736-1821), smooth spine gold-tooled, olive morocco gilt lettering-piece, g.e., turn-ins gilt (slight scuffing to extremities).*** First Edition of this French translation of the most important of the minor works of Thomas a Kempis. The edition includes the Soliliquia, the Vallis lilior, and De tribus tabernaculis (on poverty, humility, and patience), with three shorter mystical tracts. Rather than the original Dutch, the translator, Father Jean-Baptiste-Sébastien Colomme (1712-1788), used the Latin translations of Jacobus Merlo Horstius.

About Musinsky Rare Books, Inc.

Musinsky Rare Books offers uncommon printed books and manuscripts in the humanities,
largely from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, and mainly from Continental
Europe. We look for printed books and manuscripts produced by or for less powerful social
strata -- women, the poor clergy, children -- but we also approach the historical book
as a crafted object, and thus offer examples of early printing and books of significance
for their illustrations, typography, or bindings.
