Dedication signed and dated: Ioannes Bollandus, Antverpiae ... M.DC.XXX.
"One of the most beautiful as well as one of the rarest books printed by the Elzeviers. It bears no date, but it was probably produced in 1653, as Jean and Daniel were only partners from 1652 to May 1655, and it is often found bound up with Corneille's French metrical translation of 1653"; cf. Goldsmid, "A complete catalogue ... of the Elzevier presses," v.2, p.103.
Sig. A1r is engraved title-page.
Sig.L contains bio-bibliographical material on Thomas à Kempis; the first essay is by Heribert Rosweyde.
