Robert of Brunne’s Handlying Synne with Those Parts of the Anglo-French Treatise on Which It Was Founded, William of Wadington’s Manuel Des Pechiez
- Handlyng Synne is a collection of moralistic tales meant to show the English the errors of their sinful life; its intimate descriptions of daily life provide a fine social history of fourteenth-century England-it is far more history than literature. Brunne translated Handlyng Synne from French or Latin works, altering them considerably in the process. Like many translators of this era, Brunne took many liberties with the works he translated. This volume is Furnivall’s middle English edition. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
