[24], 636; 183, [39]; 127 pp. Ad 1: First edition of Buschius' chronicle of the canons regular of the first monastery of the important Dutch Augustinian congregation of Windesheim, written between 1455 and 1459. The monastery was founded in 1387 in the village Windesheim, near Zwolle. The author Johannes Buschius (1399-ca. 1480) was the most important reformer of monasteries from Windesheim, also known from his other highly important work De Reformatione mansteriorum (written 1470-1475). Ad 2: First edition of this chronicle on the canons regular of the monastery Mount S. Agnes on the Nemelerberg (now called the Agnietenberg) near Zwolle, covering the period 1386-1471. The author Thomas Hemerken van Kempen (ca. 1380-1471) lived and worked at the Saint Agnes monastery- with his brother Johannes as prior - from 1398 onwards. In that year the monastery was transformed into an Augustinian monastery under supervision of the congregaton of Windesheim. Thomas à Kempis started his chronicle when he was 84 years old and continued working on it up to his death in 1471. Ad 3: The Jesuit editor of the convolute, Heribert Rosweyde (1569-1629), added to the two chronicles his own justification of Thomas à Kempis main work De Imitatione Christi, directed against Constantino Caetani (1560-1650). Apart from this convolute, the author is known as instigator of a general hagiography, finished by Jean Bolland and being the start of the association of the Bollandists. Reasonable copy.- (Library stamp on title-page; partly browned/ waterstained; binding loose and splitting at lower joint; library ticket on spine).
