What it is
Short lives of the founders and early members of the Devotio Moderna, written by a man who had known many of them personally.
Why it lasted
The principal source for the movement's origins and daily arrangements, from inside its second 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.
