About The Book
Published in 1901, this work offers an English and French version of Handlyng Synne, a 1303 text by Robert Manning of Brunne. The book is a translation and adaptation of an Anglo-Norman work attributed to William of Waddington, the Manuel de Pechiez. It spans over 12,000 lines of verse arranged in four-stress couplets and covers key Christian doctrines and moral themes.
The text addresses the Ten Commandments, the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Sacraments, and the elements of confession, illustrated throughout by exempla, or moral anecdotes. Notably, thirteen exempla in this version are not found in the Manuel de Pechiez. Handlyng Synne is often described as "a reduction of the world's experience to a comprehensive moral scheme," providing both a theological and moral framework for the reader.
This edition is ideal for scholars of medieval literature, theology, and ethics, offering valuable insights into the moral and religious practices of the period.
