  MANNYNG, ROBERT. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Mannyng is known chiefly for his Handling Sin, a lively religious manual adapted from William of Wadington’s Manuel des péchés.
Illustrating the vices and weaknesses of man, this work is an excellent reflection of the manners of the time.
Mannyng is also the author of a chronicle of England based on Wace and de Langtoft.

 Robert Mannyng of Brunne
From his own account he entered the house of the Gilbertine Canons at Sempringham in 1288 and at some period in his life he was with Robert Bruce at Cambridge.
Mannyng is much more of a story-teller than a poet, he interpolates tales of his own and illustrates those of his original from the English life of his day.
When Mannyng comes to the reign of Edward I he inserts a good deal of matter which has some independent historical value.

 Robert Mannyng
Robert Mannyng, also known as Robert of Brunne, an English poet, was a native of Brunne, now Bourne, in Lincolnshire.
Mannyng entered this house in 1288, when, according to the rules, he must have been at least 24 years of age, if, as is supposed, he was a lay brother.
Mannyng wrote in the English tongue not for learned but for "lewd" men, "that talys and ryme wyl blethly here", to occupy the leisure hours during which they might otherwise fall into "vylanye, dedly synne or other folye." Each of his twenty-four topics has its complement of stories.

The most skilful story-teller of his time was Robert Mannyng of Brunne, who, between 1303 and 1338, translated into his native tongue two poems written in poor French by English clerics.
In the prologue to Handlyng Synne, his version of the Manuel des Pechiez, he tells us that his name is Robert of Brunne, of Brunnëwake in Kestevene, and that he dedicates his work especially to the fellowship of Sempringham, to which he had belonged for fifteen years.
Here he adds that his name is Robert Mannyng of Brunne, and that he wrote all this history in the reign of Edward III, in the priory of Sixille.

His English audience, however, was not critical, and the popularity of the manual is attested by the number of manuscripts, fourteen in all, which have survived.
Most of these belong to the thirteenth century, and Mannyng’s translation, as we have seen, was begun in 1303.
The English version begins with an introduction of the usual style, setting out the plan of the work, and stating the object of the author in making the translation.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Robert Mannyng
Robert Mannyng of Brunne (now probably the town Bourne in south Lincolnshire) wrote two works in the first decades of the fourteenth century, the religious manual/ story collection Handlyng Synne and the verse history now variously known as “Mannyng’s Chronicle” or The Story of England.
Mannyng’s writings represent an attempt to provide non-Latinate and non-Francophone society with access to texts which the author has enjoyed in their original form.
The poet calls himself “Robert of Brunnë”, and reveals that he began composing the work in the mother house of the Gilbertine order, Sempringham priory, in 1303, where, he informs the reader, he has resided for some fifteen years.

In the two manuscripts in which Handlyng Synne has survived in a complete form (Bodleian 415 and Harleian 1701), it is followed by a translation of the above work, but this alone is not sufficient evidence as to the authorship.
The language, however, is east midland, and the freedom with which the original is treated, together with the literary skill indicated in some of the additions and interpolations, may, perhaps, justify the ascription of this work to Robert Mannyng; but the point is uncertain.
Of Mannyng’s influence on succeeding authors it is impossible to speak definitely.

 Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts: Osborn Collection
Comment: This poem was begun by Mannyng in 1303 as a translation of the Anglo-Norman poem "Le Manuel des Pechiez (Peches)," written perhaps by William of Waddington.
The book, which charges Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester and Queen Elizabeth's favorite, with many crimes and misdeeds, including the murder of his wife Amy Robsart, was banned in England, and shipments from Antwerp stopped.
Comments: Robert Bowyer was clerk of the Parliaments from 1610- 1621, and was also a keeper of the records in the Tower.

 Peter Langtoft - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The earlier part of the Chronicle is taken from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other writers; for the period dealing with the reign of Edward I. Langtoft is a contemporary and valuable authority, es p ecially for affairs in the north of England and in Scotland.
Langtoft's Chronicle seems to have enjoyed considerable popularity in the north, and the latter part of it was translated into English by Robert Mannyng, sometimes called Robert of Brunne, about 1330.
See Wright's preface, and also O. Preussner, Robert Mannyng of Brunne's Ubersetzung von Pierre de Langtofts Chronicle and ihr Verheiltniss zum Originale (Breslau, 1891).

 Essay on The Alliterative Morte Arthure
The author may or may not have had Geoffrey as a source however as Wace, Layamon, Peter of Langtoft, Robert of Glouster and Robert Mannyng of Brunne each retold GeoffreyÕs tale in their own works.
Dialect Robert Thornton was a Northerner and he made a number of changes to the poem that reflect that, however, much of the original language is still in tact throughout the poem.
These fragments reflect a midland dialect as there are no est and eth verb inflections nor are there any uses of the plural pronouns hem and her, which would indicate a Southern dialect.

 ugidtakeup
This speech comes pretty near the end, when the year of dancing has ended but before Robert dies (as the dancers tell him he will) and before the narrator gives more details about their lives then his moral.
The priest Robert was also blamed by his son Azone, when the incident first occurred — specifically, after Azone had tried to save Ave from the circle and had ripped off her arm.
Originally, it's made to seem that the ones who had sinned were the dancers, but at the end of the story Mannyng seems more eager to point out the priest's sin in being moved so hastily to anger: the dancers live but Ave and the priest die.
