Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwyt: Or Remorse of Conscience, in the Kentish Dialect, 1340 A.D. is a book edited by Richard Morris and published in 1866. It is a Middle English text that was written in the 14th century by Dan Michel, a layman from Kent, England. The book is a translation of a French work called Le Somme des Vices et des Vertus (The Summary of Vices and Virtues), which was a popular religious text in the Middle Ages. The Ayenbite of Inwyt is a confessional text that explores the concept of sin and the importance of living a virtuous life. It is written in the Kentish dialect, which was a regional variation of Middle English spoken in the southeast of England. The book is divided into seven parts, each of which explores a different aspect of sin and its consequences. Richard Morris's edition of the Ayenbite of Inwyt includes a modern English translation alongside the original Middle English text, making it accessible to modern readers. The book also includes an introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the text, as well as notes and glossaries to help readers understand unfamiliar words and phrases. Overall, Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwyt: Or Remorse of Conscience, in the Kentish Dialect, 1340 A.D. is a valuable historical and literary text that offers insight into the religious beliefs and cultural practices of the Middle Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
