Document Details : Title: Das Buch von der Nachfolgung Christi (1794) Subtitle: Een Duitse 'evergreen' onder de Imitatio-uitgaven Author(s): VAN OOL, Peter Journal: Ons Geestelijk Erf Volume: 91 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2021 Pages: 466-476 DOI: 10.2143/OGE.91.3.3289678 Abstract : In the year 1794 the Bavarian theologian Johann Michael Sailer (1751-1832) published a German translation of the Imitatio Christi. His remarkable translation – with a long introduction and much comment – became very influential, especially among German speaking people. It helped the Imitatio to become ‘a book of the people’. It even inspired Dutch priests to make a similar translation of the Imitatio in Dutch. Sailers translation has been re-edited many times, until our days. |
