Completion of revisions to the B critical text of Piers Plowman with textual annotation and completion of all documentary editions of the A manuscripts accompanied by color facsimiles of the originals.

We propose to continue developing The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive by revising the first draft of our critical edition of the B version and by producing documentary editions of all the A version manuscripts, including the AB, AC, and ABC splices. These will serve as the base for machine collation. We will use the collation after the grant period to create the archetypal edition of the A version. As with the already published and about to be published documentary editions of the B version, we plan to provide hypertextually linked color digital images of entire manuscripts.

Abstract: This CD-ROM, with full color digital facsimiles and documentary texts of London, British Library Additional Manuscript 35287 [M], is the fifth volume of The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive, an international collaborative project devoted to electronic publication of all the medieval and renaissance witnesses to William Langland's Piers Plowman. Recognized as one of the central witnesses to the B text, M has the peculiar interest of a very extensive range of contemporary corrections and a mass of nearly contemporary and later annotations. These can only be represented by the combined hypertextual view of the text linked to color digital images. Each facsimile image is hypertextually linked to the edited text which is itself presented in four different views: a diplomatic type-facsimile; a scribal text which includes iconic indications of scribal error; a critical text with lapsus calami corrected; and an AllTags view that shows all of the editorial interventions on one screen.
