[342] The "Manuel des Pechiez," by William de Wadington, as well as the
English metrical translation (a very free one) written in 1303 by Robert
Mannyng, of Brunne, Lincolnshire (1260?-1340?), have been edited by
Furnivall: "Handlyng Synne," London, Roxburghe Club, 1862, 4to, contains
a number of _exempla_ and curious stories. The same Mannyng wrote, after
Peter de Langtoft, an Englishman who had written in French (see above,
p. 122), and after Wace, a metrical chronicle, from the time of Noah
down to Edward I.: "The Story of England ... A.D. 1338," ed. Furnivall,
Rolls, 1887, 2 vols. 8vo. He is possibly the author of a metrical
meditation on the Last Supper imitated from his contemporary St.
Bonaventure: "Meditacyuns on the Soper of our Lorde," ed. Cowper,
E.E.T.S., 1875, 8vo.

[343] "The Ayenbite of Inwyt or Remorse of Conscience, in the Kentish
Dialect, 1340 A.D., edited from the autograph MS.," by R. Morris,
E.E.T.S. The "Ayenbite" is the work of Dan Michel, of Northgate, Kent,
who belonged to "the bochouse of Saynt Austines of Canterberi." The work
deals with the Ten Commandments, the seven deadly sins, informs us that
"the sothe noblesse comth of the gentyl herte ... ase to the bodye: alle
we byeth children of one moder, thet is of erthe" (p. 87). Some of the
chapters of Lorens's "Somme" were adapted by Chaucer in his Parson's
tale.
