This religious text is the Bible, the most common Western Christian literature. Subject of this work is the way forward to achieve perfection ascetic, following in the footsteps of Jesus was written the Latin language during the periodo medievale. E’ stato dato alle stampe con autore anonimo. Gli studiosi sono discordi sull’autore, pensano al monaco agostiniano Tommaso da Kempis, o a Jean Gerson e al benedettino Giovanni Gersen. Interessante è l’attribuzione all'ambiente certosino, motivata dalla mancanza dell'autore, in assonanza con l'uso dell’ordine monastico e avvalorata dall’analisi del contenuto del testo, dove la terza e quarta parte, composte sottoforma di dialogo mistico con Cristo, presentano un mutamento nello stile che fa pensare ad un opera scritta da più persone e forse anche in tempi diversi.
L'opera is divided into four books. The first Book or Book of the imitation of Christ and contempt of the world and all its vanities. " The Second Book or "Indoor conversation." The third book or "Indoor comfort" and the fourth book or "Book of the Sacrament of the Body of Christ." It begins with the proclamation of the pettiness of material things and the stress to their dropping out, and turn to Christ and qualities such as: charity, obedience, meditation and contrition. The second part says that it is impossible to escape the suffering, identifying it as a means to enter the kingdom of God The third and fourth part, written in dialogue form, see the exaltation Eucharist as a means of union with Christ
