Abstract

The article discusses a textual puzzle in Piers Plowman A.12, specifically focusing on a line mentioning a confessor named Kynde Wit. The author explores different interpretations of this name, with some suggesting a transposition of words to make sense of the phrase. The discussion delves into the historical naming conventions of cardinals and the potential implications of the word order in the text. [Extracted from the article]
