His principal work, first printed in the 1470s, was the Vita Christi (Life of Christ).[1] It had significant influence on the development of techniques for Christian meditation by introducing the concept of immersing and projecting oneself into a Biblical scene about the life of Jesus which became popular among the Devotio Moderna community, and later influenced Ignatius of Loyola.[2]
