''Handlyng Synne'' by Robert Manning of Brunne is a Middle English verse devotional work, intended for the use of both learned and unlearned men, dealing with the theory and practice of morality, and illustrating this doctrine with stories drawn from ordinary life. It was begun in the year 1303. It is valued today for its simple and entertaining style, and for the light it throws on English life in the Middle Ages. == Description ==
''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".
