The Little Alphabet of the Monk in the School of God

Thomas à Kempis

This book is in Latin.

A short dialogue between disciple and master: the rules of the spiritual life set out in alphabetical order, love of obscurity, kindness, guarding the heart, solitude, poverty, and the blessing at the end. Latin only: Pohl's critical edition (Freiburg 1904), from a raw OCR of the printed volume; no public-domain English translation has been found.

Contents

Source: One chapter; the rules are set as separate paragraphs. Line numbers, running heads and page breaks stripped by script; Pohl's critical apparatus and introduction not imported. Raw OCR: drop capitals garbled and some slips remain after the scripted lexicon repair.
