The Imitatio Christi, or Imitation of Christ is often considered the greatest of all Christian manuals of devotion. In the late 15th century there was some dispute as to the authorship of this work. The present edition mistakenly ascribes it to Johannis Gerson, a French scholar, educator, reformer, poet and chancellor of the University of Paris. It has, however, been proven that this work really was written by the German monk Thomas à Kempis. Attributed variously but now definitely ascribed to Thomas à Kempis. (Goff).

Description:
49. KIERKEGAARD, SOREN. Sygdommen til Doden En christelig psychologisk Udvikling til Opbyggelse og Opvaekkelse Af Anti-Climacus. (The Sickness Unto Death). 8vo. Contemporary ½-leather-backed black boards, gold lettering on spine. Copenhagen 1849. First Edition. This treatise on despair is one of Kierkegaard's most important works. According to Kierkegaard, an individual is "in despair" if he does not align himself with God or God's plan for the self. In this way he loses his self. Kierkegaard defines humanity as the tension between the "finite and infinite," and the "possible and the necessary." While humans are inherently reflective and self-conscious beings, to become a true self one must not only be conscious of the self but also be conscious of being created by a higher being, God. When one either denies this self or the self's creator, one is in despair. Edges of spine worn and scuffed, ink signature on title page; o/w a very nice copy.
