    Abstract:
    Hardly a Passus of Piers Plowman goes by without one reference to a Jewish individual, practice, or belief — that is, a Jewish individual, practice or belief as perceived or believed by a Christian observer. Whereas a multitude of these references abound in Piers Plowman, it contains, essentially, only a pair of conventional medieval approaches for portraying Jews: Jews as other to the Christian and historical Jews as other to the Scriptural Jews. Elisa Marie Narin van Court's work on Piers Plowman tracks the alterations and deletions of Jewish references from Piers Plowman’s B-text to its C-text. Chronicling these echoes, however, largely precludes an in-depth study of the B-text alone which, in turn, implies its relative tolerance towards Jews.
