Joke so noted. Keep in mind that even I don't love Piers. I'm just doing this because I care about the manuscript *grimace* But, um, don't tell my colleagues that, you know? I need them to think I care about Piers. Well, maybe I've come to care a little. It's alliterative, like my beloved Pearl-Poet's stuff. I'll make a concession.
I'm not sure how ANYONE loves Piers, but Lolo certainly does, so it must be possible. I think I could maybe care about it, under the right circumstances,but caring is different from liking...
I was amused that it was first printed by a Mr Crowley, though.
I've never thought to connect Robert's 1550 endeavor with our Crowley simply because he wouldn't have the patience to produce such a fiddly thing. I'm sure Aziraphale had a hand in it coming to fruition, however...
Aziraphale would love Piers... not only for the content, but for the whole bloody complicated manuscript transmission. I have this fabulous image of Aziraphale getting Lolo drunk and making him talk for hours about A-C text recensions...
My classmates from SGGK class all still want to kill me, I"m sure... I made a post on the NP about MS sigla, entirely to do with my thesis, and Lolo bounced into class and was all 'aaah Amy made me realise you're missing out on the true medievalist experience!' AND THEN TALKED ABOUT PIERS PLOUGHMAN MANUSCRIPTS FOR FORTY MINUTES.
