The B-version of 'Piers Plowman', perhaps the only version
authorised by Langland, is the one most frequently read today, and
the most influential form of the poem. This catalogue of the extant
medieval manuscripts, now locaed in Cambridge, London, Oxford,
Tokyo, and San Marino, California, offers both individual
manuscript descriptions and a record of the annotations. The new
and detailed codicological descriptions include information on
provenance and ownership, a full list of the contents, and a
description of the physical make-up and the presentation of each
manuscript. The first published accounts of the various textual
annotations on each manuscript (whether produced by the original
scribes or later readers) provides the best record available of how
'piers plowman' was understoon by its earliest audience. Professor
C. DAVID BENSON teaches in the English Department at the University
of Connecticut; Dr LYNNE BLANCHFIELD is an Associate Lecturer at
the Open University.
