Pierce the Ploughman's Crede is a Middle English poem written around 1394 AD, and edited by Walter W. Skeat. The poem is a satirical allegory that follows the journey of a ploughman named Pierce, who is seeking to understand the Christian creed. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including a priest, a pardoner, and a friar, who represent different aspects of medieval society and the church. Through their conversations and interactions, Pierce learns about the corruption and hypocrisy of the church and the importance of living a virtuous life. The poem is notable for its use of vernacular language and its criticism of the medieval church, which was a controversial topic at the time. Skeat's edition includes a modernized spelling and punctuation, as well as notes and commentary to help readers understand the historical and cultural context of the poem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
