Kempis Thomas
German monk and writer Thomas a Kempis supported himself by copying manuscripts. During his lifetime he copied the Bible no less than four times, one of which is still preserved at Darmstadt in five volumes. The pattern of Thomas s quiet life remained the same over the years: He devoted his time to prayer, study, writing, copying, teaching newcomers, and counseling people who came to his church.
