Abstract
This essay examines the unique version of the confessions of the seven deadly sins in Huntington Library, MS HM 114 (Ht). The Ht redactor apparently seeks to compile as many Piers Plowman lines as possible, whilst simultaneously preserving the dramatic and bodily presentation of the confessions that is most characteristic of his B-text base. The text of Piers in the manuscript might thus be described, this essay suggests, as a sort of ‘B+’ rather than an ‘ABC splice’, incorporating C-text materials but in such a way as to enhance and expand rather than alter the distinct literary characteristics of B.
