The Ploughman's Tale.
The first edition is that in Thynne's second edition of Chancer, 1542. It is
reprinted in all the old editions of the Canterbury Tales. It is also
printed in Wright's Political Poems and Songs, 1, 304-345, with the title,

Prynted for Ihon Gough. Cum Priuilegio Regali. Hazlitt dates this
edition c. 1540; Skeat, c. 1536. It is, apparently, the same that John
Bale saw in the shop of John Daye; cf. Index, p. 274; and Catalogus,
P. 454. Bale says it is wrongly ascribed to Chaucer; he ascribes it to

Wyclif in both the places just cited. It does not appear in the list of
Wyclif's writings in Bale's Summarium, though 'Petrum Agricolam,
lib. i' (Piers the Plowman? ), is in the list, fo. 157 rº. There have been
three editions since: (1) in Speght's Chaucer (2nd ed. ), 1602; (2) in
Wright's Political Poems and Songs, 11, 16–39; (3) in Skeat's Chaucerian
and Other Pieces, 191-204.

The Crowned King.
The only edition is that of Skeat in his E. E. T. S. edition of Piers the Plowman,
III, 523-534.
Death and Liffe and The Scotish Ffeilde.
The latter was first published from an imperfect MS by John Robson in
Chetham Miscellanies, vol. 11 (Chetham Soc. 1855); a complete edition
from both of the known MSS is given by Hales and Furnivall, Bishop
Percy's Folio MS, 1867, vol. I, pp. 199-234. Death and Liffe is published
in the same collection, vol. III, pp. 49–75, ed. Skeat; and a modernised
version is printed by Edward Arber, The Dunbar Anthology, 1901,
pp. 126-141.
