Published in 1901, this book provides an English and French version
of the 1303 text by Robert Manning of Brunne. Handlyng Synne was
adapted from an Anglo-Norman work attributed to William of
Waddington, the Manuel de Pechiez. It consists of more than 12,000
lines of verse, arranged in four-stress couplets. It is a
discussion of the ten commandments, the seven deadly sins, the
seven sacraments, and the elements of confession, illustrated
throughout by exempla, or moral anecdotes, thirteen of which do not
appear in the Manuel. Handlyng Synne has been described as "a
reduction of the world's experience to a comprehensive moral
scheme".
