O knihe
Excerpt from The Imitation of Christ: Called Also the Ecclesiastical Music
English editions have adhered to a bad custom which grew up in the controversial times of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, not simply of omitting certain passages, but of altering the expression in almost countless in stances. The monk became a devout person, his cell was changed into a secret chamber, his penance into repentance, the Pope appeared as a bishop, and so on. But if a Kempis is to be read, certainly if he is to be understood, he must be allowed to speak with his own voice. His sentiment is that of the universal church; his opinions are those of his time.
There are a few other points on which a word of explanation may be offered.
