Thomas à Kempis spent most of his long life in the Augustinian priory of Mount St. Agnes near Zwolle, and this chronicle records its history year by year. He tells of its founding, the building of its church, the brothers who joined and died, the priors and patrons, and news of the wider Windesheim congregation, plagues and wars.

The first English translation of a modest record by the author of The Imitation of Christ, invaluable for the Devotio Moderna. Download the free EPUB.
