Prayers on the Passion of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin and Other Saints

Thomas à Kempis

This book is in Latin.

Sixteen prayers: on the Passion of the Lord (to the Father at Mass, of remembrance and imitation, of compassion, to Christ, of thanksgiving), to the Blessed Virgin (love and praise, help at the hour of death, special consolation, in tribulation), and to other saints (John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, Thomas the Apostle, Mary Magdalene, Agnes). Latin only: Pohl's edition (Freiburg 1904), from a raw OCR of the printed volume; no public-domain English translation has been found.

Contents

Source: The prayers as Pohl numbers them, in three groups. 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.
