dc.description.abstract	This is the first complete transcription of the marginal annotations of Piers Plowman C Text found in Oxford Bodleian Library Digby 102. The annotations are transcribed as they appear in the manuscript; the lineation used is that of Derek Pearsall's 1978 edition of the C text. This transcription presents a unique display of marginalia not often found in Piers Plowman manuscripts. Not only does the manuscript contain a layer of marginalia contemporary with the text of the mid-fifteenth century, but it also contains a more substantial layer of marginalia written in the early-sixteenth century. The introductory sections of this thesis provide a study of the manuscript itself as well as a transcription and discussion of two original scribal interpolations not found in any other Piers Plowman manuscript. Following the transcription, the annotations are discussed in detail and categorized in relation to the marginalia found in Douce 104 and HM 143.
