Imitation of Christ, The. A manual of spiritual devotion designed to instruct the Christian how to seek perfection by following Christ as his model. It was put into circulation in 1418 and has traditionally been attributed to
Thomas à Kempis; attempts since the 17th cent. to assign it to other writers have failed to win general assent.
