Chaucer's text seems for the most part to be a combination, in English translation, of the texts of two Latin works on penitence popular at the time ; the Summa casuum poenitentiae of Raymond of Peñafort, and the Summa vitiorum of William Perault.

A legend had been passed down saying that Raymond of Peñafort, the head of Thomas ' religious order the Dominicans, had asked Thomas " to compose a work against the errors of the infidels, by which both the cloud of darkness might be dispelled and the teaching of the true Sun be made manifest.

Many today doubt the veracity of the legend regarding Raymond of Peñafort, and, even if the legend is accepted, that Thomas intended the work as a missionary manual either to be put into the hands of unbelievers so that they might read it, be convinced of the truth, and convert or as a training manual for Dominicans to learn how to argue for the truth of faith.
