Welcome

The Exeter manuscript does not contain Beowulf, they are two of the four known poetic manuscripts: the Beowulf manuscript in the British Library, the Junius manuscript in Oxford, the Vercelli Book in Italy and the Exeter Book in the Exeter Cathedral Library. There are no duplication of contents between the four codices. Otherwise, amazing video!

[@QaiserSajjad]

Thank you for the clarification. You're right, the Exeter manuscript does not contain Beowulf. The four main Old English poetic manuscripts are distinct in their contents, and it's great to see them correctly identified. It's important to highlight that these manuscripts provide a diverse view of Anglo-Saxon poetry.

[@QaiserSajjad]

Beowulf is contained in another manuscript known as the Nowell Codex (Cotton Vitellius A.xv). Both the Exeter Book and the Nowell Codex are key sources of Anglo-Saxon literature, but they are separate works. The Exeter Book primarily contains a variety of Old English poems and riddles, while the Nowell Codex includes Beowulf alongside other texts like The Wonders of the East and Judith.

Which is the exact period of this age?(450-1050) or (5th to norman conquest)

[@QaiserSajjad]

The Anglo-Saxon period traditionally spans from 450 AD to 1066 AD. It begins with the settlement of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain and ends with the Norman Conquest, marked by the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Some scholars refer to the earlier phase, from the 5th century to 1066, as the broader context of Anglo-Saxon England, while others might focus specifically on the written or cultural developments in this period. The dates 450-1050 could represent the pre-Norman literature phase but ending in 1066 is more accurate for the full era.
