Ti riferisci al poema epico Beowulf ?
Se è così, qualcosa che ti possa aiutare:
Beowulf è uno dei poemi epici più antichi fra quelli sopravvissuti in lingua inglese arcaica. Il manoscritto in cui fu ritrovato è generalmente datato intorno all'anno 1000. Insieme al Beowulf, il manoscritto conservato al British Museum raccoglie altre opere di epoche diverse, accomunate dalla presenza di mostri e creature fantastiche. La trascrizione del manoscritto è opera di due scribi, ciascuno dei quali ha copiato circa metà del poema. Il manoscritto appartenne a Lawrence Nowell nel XVI secolo (ed è per questo noto anche come "Codice Nowell"); passò in seguito a Robert Bruce Cotton nel XVII secolo, e fu danneggiato da un incendio della Cotton Library nel 1731.

The first page of BeowulfThis article is about the epic poem. For the character, see Beowulf (hero). For other uses, see Beowulf (disambiguation).
Beowulf (c. 700-1000 A.D.) is a heroic epic poem. At 3,182 lines, it is notable for its length in comparison to other Old English poems. It represents about 10% of the extant corpus of Old English poetry. The poem is untitled in the manuscript, but has been known as Beowulf since the early 19th century. In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of a Germanic tribe from southern Sweden called the Geats, travels to Denmark to help defeat a monster named Grendel. He later returns to Geatland, where he becomes king, and when he is old he kills a dragon and dies. Although dealing primarily with Scandinavian matters, the work has risen to such prominence that it is sometimes called "England's national epic".
