The Ayenbite of Inwyt, meaning The Prick of Conscience, is a Middle English translation of the French confessional manual, Somme des vices et des vertus, written in 1340 by Dan Michel of Northgate, Kent. This important work is one of the few surviving examples of the Kentish dialect of Middle English. The text provides a detailed examination of sins and virtues, offering insights into the moral and religious beliefs of the 14th century. This edition, edited by Daniel Michel and Joseph Stevenson, offers a valuable resource for scholars of Middle English language and literature, as well as those interested in the religious history of medieval England. The Ayenbite Of Inwyt remains a significant text for understanding the development of English prose and the cultural landscape of its time.
