What it is
The correspondence and resolutions of a licensed preacher who gave up a comfortable career, attacked clerical concubinage, and gathered men and women into households of shared life without vows.
Why it lasted
The founding documents of the Devotio Moderna, the movement that shaped late medieval piety and educated Erasmus and Luther's generation.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
