Note 16 — Chapter XXIII · THOMAS OF CELANO.
Reading edition
The Imitation of Christ. Four books. Translated from the Latin by W. Benham, B.D., Vicar of Margate. London, 1874. It is to be regretted that the author of this, the best English version, speaks of the ascription of the Imitation to Thomas à Kempis as “a mistake,” and ascribes it to John Gersen, Abbot of Vercelli, in Italy, who never existed.
