Abstract
- The article discusses a passage B XV 417-28a from Langland's C-Papers by Piers Plowman. Piers Plowman B XV 417 has presented itself to any editors or readers as a crux, either textual or interpretive. As a standalone passage; its point is clear the manuscript variants are minor. In the poem Anima, he discusses the contemporary followers of the apostles. Quotations from the book "Piers Plowman: The B Version" have been used in the article to analyze the passage. The passage doesn't look like ur-B material of revision, rather seems to be a draft of matter perhaps originally intended for the opening of C XVII, but eventually discarded and nor recalled from the ur-B papers, its best material is for use where appropriate.
