Name: The Consolation of the Poor and the Sick
Author: Thomas à Kempis

Thomas à Kempis

This book is in Latin.

A short book of comfort in eight addresses, to the poor man, the weak, sick Lazarus, Joseph the stranger, the despised cripple, Columban the silent, Simplicianus the unlearned and the solitary turtle-dove. Latin only: Pohl's critical edition (Freiburg 1918), from a raw OCR of the printed volume; no public-domain English translation has been found.

Source: Pohl's text without his critical apparatus and introduction; line numbers, running heads and page breaks stripped by script. Raw OCR: drop capitals at openings are often garbled, and some slips remain after the scripted lexicon repair.
