Robert of Brunne's Handlying Synne is a medieval English religious text that provides guidance on how to live a virtuous life and avoid sin. It is based on William of Wadington's Manuel des Pechiez, a French treatise on the same topic. This edition of Handlying Synne includes those parts of the original Anglo-French treatise on which it was founded. The book is edited by Frederick J. Furnivall, a noted scholar of medieval literature and language. Furnivall's introduction provides historical and linguistic context for the text, making it accessible to modern readers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval religious literature or the history of the English language.1901. 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.
