Step into the heart of 14th-century England, where faith and daily life intertwined, and discover a cornerstone of medieval moral instruction. Robert of Brunne’s 'Handlyng Synne' stands as a vivid Middle English adaptation of William of Wadington’s influential Anglo-French treatise, 'Manuel des Pechiez'.

The text’s enduring relevance lies in its ability to bridge centuries, illuminating the moral landscape that shaped generations.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
