The Hospice of the Poor

Thomas à Kempis

This book is in Latin.

A treatise for the poor of Christ: contempt of worldly goods, poverty of spirit, patience and the comfort of the poor, drawn chiefly from the Psalms. Latin only: Pohl's critical edition (Freiburg 1918), from a raw OCR of the printed volume; no public-domain English translation has been found.

Contents

Source: Chapters as Pohl divides them, with his upper-case chapter titles recased (u/v normalised by script). Line numbers, running heads and page breaks stripped by script; Pohl's critical footnotes and introduction are not imported. Raw OCR: drop capitals at chapter openings and isolated letters are often garbled; a chapter heading lost to OCR runs two chapters together.
